DailyFit November 19

DailyFit is the daily workout posted at Fit2YouFitness.com.  Since 2009 we have been providing routine workouts for anyone's use.  Please be advised, exercise is tough.  Many of the movements included in DailyFit aren't easy.  If you don't know what you're doing, ask someone who looks like they do --and  it just so happens that the trainers at Fit2You know what they're doing.  Email us: Info@fit2youfitness.com, we're here to help.

Below you'll find two workouts - Beginner/Intermediate and Advanced.  Don't be cocky...choose accordingly.

FitDeck

FitDeck is a unique exercise modality best for those of you with limited space, limited equipment, and/or limited time.  FitDeck is designed to combine intense total body resistance training and cardiovascular training; maximizing the time you do have to exercise.

Equipment:  1 full deck of playing cards, 2 dumbbells or kettlebells, or 1 barbell or sand bag.

Instructions:  Each Suit is assigned an activity.  As you flip through the deck the card number is the number of repetitions you perform of that Suit's activity (J is 11, Q is 12, K is 13, Ace is 1 or 14).  For example, If the "diamond" activity is pushups, when you flip 10 of Diamonds, perform 10 pushups. 

Take rests as needed, but no longer than 1 minute.  Work up to completing an entire FitDeck without rest.

Diamond:  Burpees
Hearts: Flat Jacks
Spades: Pushups
Clover: Bentover Row
