A Fitness Twist to that good ol' cardgame from our childhood... WAR!!

Do you like cards?  Do you like competition?  Do you need to spice up your calorie-burning life? If you answered yes to ANY of the above questions (or even if you didn't...) try this one!  All you need is a piece of paper, a writing utensil, & a deck of cards.
HINT: You'll get a better workout if there are more than 2 of you playing!

Here's how it works:
Write down the following exercises on a piece of paper:

1. jumping jacks
2. classic push-ups
3. squat jumps
4. sit ups
5. burpees
6. lunges
7. chest push-ups 
8. wide leg squats
9. v-ups
10. tuck jumps
11. high knee sprint in place
12. dips                    

Next: Deal out the full deck and flip your first card!  Everyone but the holder of the highest card must now do jumping jacks to the count of the winning card (e.g. if the highest card is 9, do 9 jacks, if it's a face-card or Ace, do 15!).  The winner collects the cards and when everyone is done with their exercises, play the next round.  You continue through the game, going down the list of exercises, until there is a winner!  When you have reached the end of the exercise list, just start over at the beginning.  Imagine it's on a continuous loop :)  Goooood luck!  Be sure to stretch for a good 10 minutes when the game is over.

Keep your form!  Keep those abdominals tight!  Drink H2O!  Have fun!  Get Fit!!

-Peace. Health. RoxyB!!
