So today we did a new conditioning circuit with levels 6-10 & Xcel Platinum. (I'm xcel if anyone is wondering) It was very tiring, but a very creative idea that anyone can take and put their own spin on. You will need a deck of cards.
So each suit represents a move.
Hearts: Burpees w/ push-up making sure your chin touches the ground
Spades: Bounce straddle handstands
Diamonds: v-ups w/ arms staying by your ears the whole time
Clubs: Tuck jumps
So you go through the cards and do whatever number of whatever suit. For example: pull an eight of hearts everyone does eight burpees. Queens are 11, Kings are 12, and Aces are 13. And then you just go through the entire deck!
This wasn't the hardest conditioning, but it was very very tiring. Since today was our first time doing the circuit, we got a 30 second water break halfway through. And all the royals represented 10 for today. But it's definitely a workout! I hope this inspires some coaches out there or even something someone can do at home for an extra workout.
