* Make sure the deck of cards is shuffled. Flip one card over at a time and do the exercise that corresponds with the card suit, reps= card value....face cards 10 and aces 15.

Hearts= PliƩ squat (wide base toes point out and lower your bottom)
Diamonds= Reverse lunges (don't be a wuss right/left count as one)
Spades= Table makers ( from crab position raise your hips till you look like a sturdy table)
Clubs= Puma push ups (look it up if you don't know)
