- Hearts = Burpees
- Diamonds = Situps
- Clubs = Pullups
- Spades = Squats
- Jokers = 400m run
Start by drawing the top card and do that many reps of the suit. For example, if you draw the 9 of Hearts, you’re doing 9 burpees. Face cards are all worth 10. The goal is to get through the whole deck as fast as you can.
Now I’ll never get to sleep… And I’m not talking about the workout!
KICK SOME BUTT TODAY!!!
You are so ugly!
You know who wrote that post…..
Does every Deck have an ‘effin joker in it?
no. They all have 2 🙂
So there are 2 400m runs?
2 x 400m rows – you can do it 🙂
Can’t make my 4:15 today. Who wants it?
OMG, I needed to laugh this morning. Thank you Gym Guy.
Sonia & Kevin – KICK DU CHU! 😀
I’m psychic! I was thinking of this WOD last night!!! It’ll be fun!
I have been waiting for this one to come around again, can’t wait to try it!
For the last two weeks we have been raising money for Sonia and Kevin with daily sponsorships for all of the results that were posted…
and with all of your support we raised $600.00!!!!! 😀
Whether you sponsored a day or simply took the time to post your results, you made a huge contribution. Everyone came together to support a small idea for two great athletes. Thanks everyone! Give yourselves a hand!
…ok now give Sonia and Kevin a hand! 😛
Good luck guys!
Jeff that was such a great initiative! And it’s always so great to pull together like that 🙂
I left my rings at the gym last night – did anyone see them?? How do I get hold of Heather?

Kevin and Sonia we’re sending you some Moncton cheer 🙂 Go kick the bleep out of those WODs!!!
Go tiger!!!!! That’s not your tear’em to shreds face I hope?
At first I thought:
“Hey we get to hack away at a deck of card… neat!”
And I was like 😀
Then I saw Pat’s time…
Then I thought:
“Oh… “I” get to hack away at a deck of cards… ok…”
Then I was like :S
Lol that was funny! Great thing is you always know you’re going to get a great workout!
Great workout indeed.
I made the mistake of doing all the math for reps (cuz Im nerd like that).
I have foreseen the pain.
that was many people’s reaction; “Oh! We do a FULL deck each??” LOL. Yes it’s a long one, but not impossible.
I am not sure if laughed harder with today’s pics or the one with guy and carly!
All the best Kevin and Sonia! yourrr ggrreeat!
I love Guy <3 Woof Woof
Right back at you. 🙂
Love the picture Kevin! Made me laugh.
eeekkkk I hope you guys are kicking some butt!!! I am sending you all my energy and endurance!
Thanks for the comments everyone! It awesome to see 30 posts when it’s 7am here!
We’re in Banff right now and woke up to snow. Check out facebook to see the picture from our window. We were going to go up a gondola, but it’s visibility is about 500 feet. Enjoyed the outdoor pool last night that was heated to 100 F. We’re going to grab a bite to eat here at the hotel and then head into the city. Looking forward to meeting up with the other Atlantic CrossFitters and share their nervousness.
Looks like the weather is calling for showers while we do our X-country run tonight…to which I say, good! Make it hard! I know it will be mentally tough on all the non-runners.
I’ll try to keep you posted on what’s going on out here.
Take care everyone and thanks again for all the positive comments (except you Pierre…you’re ugly too).
I love you too Kevin!
Good luck guys! I wish I could be there to cheer you on.
And BTW, I am a bit jealous of you to be able to compete in the Regionals! 🙂
Have fun!
Pierre is not ugly…He’s got hairs now!!
I would like to change my 3:15 spot for a 4:15 if there’s any cancellation!
Hi Steph I would love your 3:15 spot…I double checked and I have a 4:15 today. Is this ok Pierre?
Everything is good now! Cathy at 3:15 and Steph F. at 4:15.
Really Kevin!!!!!!! you posted a tony the tiger picture!! you’re better to keep those for special moments with the boys.
Regardless – good luck in Calgary, kick some butt there tiger.
You go Tiger. Rain or snow won’t slow those legs down. Cheering for you both. Fingers crossed. Prayers sent up. Good wishes all around. Everyone loved the Deck of Death so far. Well maybe loved it is a bit strong.
strong? heather i’m not sure i’ve ever heard the words F-un, F-lower, F-abulous, F-antastique so many times before 7am in my life.
i wish is was working out with tracy today, and can just imagine..
This may help you visualize Krista,
Clubs will be sponsored by the letter “B”
Spades will be sponsored by the letter “C”
Hearts will be sponsored by the letter “F”
Diamonds will be sponsored by the letter “J”
And I saved the combination of “M” and “F” for the jokers
HAHAH
I just wanted to say good luck and go get ’em Tiger! haha. I have never seen that much hair on your head since we’ve met! haha
Go Sonia and Kevin!! We are cheering for you from here!!
I can make it for 4:15 class someone can have my spot. Sorry for the short notice.
GO GO GO Sonia and Kevin !!! Good Luck 🙂
I canceled my 5:30 and will come at 6:30.

Finished last burpee as time was up. Thanks Jane for the push at the end! I still think Jamie owes you more than a hug. C’mon Jamie, Jane was cheeering you on with all that encouragement.
I’m sooooooooo proud of you for finishing the deck Tracey. I saw you in action and you are a MACHINE!!! Very impressive! 😀

Good luck this weekend in Calgary. Although Kevin I’m going to have to hit you for that picture. 🙂

Nursing some sort of weird arm injury, so Substituted my pull ups for 15# weighted Good Mornings.
Time: 24:29
The substitution makes it hard to compare with my results in December on this workout, but pretty happy anyway, as the last go around at this w/o I had 8 cards left, with both of them being the joker…so even with the substitution, I figure it’s progress. This is a fun workout!
Good Luck tonight Kevin and Sonya!

Gill you were a monster today. Crazy impressive time!
Way to go Dan!
I just picture wrapped. It’s a good thing that Kevin didn’t book this commercial because it would have conflicted with his trip.
Anyway sorry about missing my classes this week. (Actually I do, physically feel bad for not getting my fix this week) But, my schedule is back to normal next week.
If it’s appropriate to do some running to pay for my absences I fully understand. I would have canceled but I was really hoping that I would be finished both Wed and Fri in time to make it.
I hope everyone had a great week and Kevin, Sonia, give ’em hell!
Cheers!
