Gotch's Bible

[Bruce L]

Came across this http://www.scientificwrestling.com/public/249.cfm?sd=2

and since the weather is shiyte i thought id give it a go.

Gotch's Bible:

First, shuffle a full deck of cards (Jokers included). Black cards mean squats and red cards mean push-ups.

Every time you deal a black card, you do twice the amount of repetitions as the face value of the dealt card. This means, if you get a black 8, you do 16 squats. If you get a black Ace, you do 22 squats.

Spades are regular Hindu Squats, Clubs are Jumper Squats. The first Joker you pull means you do 40 hindu-squats consecutively.

Every time you get a red card, you do push-ups. This time you do the actual value of the face card. If you get a red 8, you do 8 push-ups. If you get a red Ace, you do 11 push-ups.

Diamonds are regular Hindu Push-Ups, Hearts are 1/2 Moon Push-Ups. The second Joker you pull means you do 20 push-ups consecutively.

Karl then follows this by holding a 3-minute wrestler's bridge with the best form possible.

Good luck!

I have set up a similar routine using cards, with a group of youth I work with.

Mountain climbers, gladiator hold, squats, tuck jumps, split squat jumps, burpees, etc

We do a range of 3-4 exercises, with sprints between each one (or lunges, crab/bear walks).

They love it, and they are getting really fit. They have progressed quite far considering their initial assessments.

It is a good way to change it up, so fitness is always exciting and challenging.
