SEAL Deck of Cards Workout

CHARLIE MIKE Teammates -- Jim asked, "What's the number of reps per type of card you did in the teams?" In SEAL Team, here's how we dealt the cards, since we didn't just do pushups.

Hearts = Pushups
Diamonds = Situps
Clubs = Lunges
Spades = Squat jumps

Add up the face value of all the cards (with Aces valued at 11) and you get 380. But our minimum workout was to do everything 2x. We worked up to 3x and 4x. Pullups were done singly. Lastly, Jokers were wild -- we did 8 Count Body Builders when we drew a Joker. You always did the workout with a least one swim buddy but we each did every rep. It was a fairly brutal workout that might take an hour to do.

Example (at the x2 level):

• 2 of Hearts, 4 pushups
• 8 of Diamonds, 16 situps
• Jack of Clubs, 20 lunges
• Ace of Spades, 22 squat jumps

2 = 4
3 = 6
4 = 8
5 = 10
6 = 12
7 = 14
8 = 16
9 = 18
10 = 20
[Note: Jack, Queen, King are all valued at 10]
Jack/10 = 20
Queen/10 = 20
King/10 = 20
[Note: Ace valued at 11]
Ace/11 = 22

Here are the raw numbers:
Reps 2x = 760
Reps 3x = 1,170
Reps 4x = 1,520

HOOYAH!!
