Free Deck of Cards Workout Generator

The Deck of Cards workout is very simple. You assign one exercise (e.g. push ups, sit ups, lunges, etc.) to each suit. Then you shuffle a deck and flip over one card at a time, doing the number of reps that are on the card until there are none left.

This is a free tool to use if you don’t have a deck of cards around.

Enter in the exercises that you want to do, then click “Begin Workout”. Use the “Next Card” button to go to the next card after each set.

If you have any issues, just let me know.

Enjoy!
