Anyone know of this exercise routine?
http://fitnowtraining.com/2011/01/deck-of-cards-workout/
I tried it monday and here where I sit I'm dying of pain
I could only do 44 cards.
I was more than a year ago in the gym and started gaining a bit of stomach fat.
Going to use this and a bit of controlled eating to shed the fat fast.
Going to do this two times a week till the pain is is not so bad, then it up to 3 times a week then 4 then 5, then beating times.
I sweat and grunted like a pig by the 30th or so card

So, what is the DOC workout?
It’s very simple. A trainer (or partner) takes a deck of playing cards (sans Jokers) and shuffles them. Each of the four suites (hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades) is assigned a particular exercise. The number of each exercise you do is the face value of the cards with 2-10 equal to the number, jacks = 11, queens = 12, kings = 13 and aces = 14. The timer begins when you flip the very first card. The person who is flipping the cards will have the next card on the top of the deck ready so that as soon as you complete that exercise, you go right into the next one. You can take rest breaks to catch your breath and get a drink of water. But… the clock keeps running.
The Exercises
I like to use the four exercises that Jay initially put me through. They are as follows:
■Hearts = Push Ups (Ladies can do them from the knees)
■Diamonds = Sit Ups (or crunches)
■Spades = Squats with a weight (10 lbs for ladies, 25 lbs for men)
■Clubs = Burpees (If you don’t know how to do a burpee, see the video below of the one that I use.)
