This workout setup is easy and perfect for the home routine or for someone who travels a lot. First, list off three to four body weight exercises (if there is other equipment available use it as well).
1. Squat
2. Push-Ups
3. V-Ups
4. Pull-Ups
These are my favorite four to do. Take a deck of 52 cards and each card you pull from the deck is the number of reps you perform for the particular exercise you are on. Rotate through each exercise drawing one card per exercise each round. With face cards just follow the order: Jacks=11, Queen=12, and so on.
You can go through the deck as many times as you want or as many variations of exercises as you want. A good measure of improvement you can use is to see how many rounds you can get in 15 minutes. If you do three 15 minute workouts you complete a 45 workout that should leave you fatigued and satisfied if you worked hard.
You can add things to the workout such as wild cards in which you perform double if you draw a queen or you perform that many reps for all your listed exercises and then continue on drawing a new card. Feel free to create your own additions for wild cards.
This routine is a great way to accomplish a total body workout without the standard gym equipment or the guidance of a trainer. Give it a shot the next time you’re at home or traveling; you might be surprised at how well the routine actually works.
