Note to Self: Work on Donkey Kicks

Northeast Tennessee Johnson City Iron Horse (Founders Park)

16 Pax, including 1 FNG (Pong) showed up on a slightly icy, but not too chili morning to put in some work.  The temperature was around 36 degrees.  Pax gathered under the Farmer’s Market to avoid the ice.

THE THANG
The workout revolved around a deck of standard playing cards minus the Kings and Queens, but included 2 Jokers.  The game was played by performing reps of exercises based on the card number and different exercises were assigned to each suit.  They were assigned as follows:

  • Spades: 1 Rep = 1 Burpee
  • Hearts: 1 Rep = 1 Squat + 4 “Box” Jumps
  • Diamonds: 1 Rep = 2 pushups and 2 donkey kicks
  • Clubs: 1 Rep = 1 Eight Count Sit-up
  • Aces = 4 reps of each exercise
  • Jokers = 5 reps of each exercise + 1 down and back run
  • 2’s of any suit = 1 minute plank

PAX made it 2 rounds each including all 4 Aces and both Jokers.  For those keeping track of their burpees this month, we competed 62 total, which includes the warm-up and workout.  The donkey kicks were tougher than I anticipated, so that’s a goal of mine for next year.  Everyone was solid on their determination and effort.
