♥ SMART Quest ♥ Fri. July 29, 2011

Continuing on with Scott Colby's - Bootcamps On Demand! Here is today's results from my workout!

I started with a dynamic warm up of:
Push Ups x 12
Squats x 20
Spiderman Climbs x 20 total

Jumping Jacks x 30
2 Rounds

This workout is supposed to be a timed 30 minute workout but I like to finish my rounds so it actually stretched out to 41:08 and I completed 3 rounds.  Because you pull cards randomly from a deck of cards the results will vary.  I took out the 2's 3's & 4's.  For some reason I pulled all the high cards every round! UGH!

Round 1 -  9:30
Round 2 - 13:11
Round 3 - 18:27

Why did the rounds get so long as each progressed?  Because each round you add 5 reps to the exercises and pull 2 extra cards for the card portion of the workout.  Add to that the value of each card and it can be intense.

Round 1 Cards:  7 Diamonds
                           Queen of Clubs (10)
                           King of Clubs (10)
                           King of Diamonds (10)

Round 2 Cards:  Ace of Hearts (11)
                           Ace of Diamonds (11)
                           10 of Diamonds
                             9 of Spades
                             8 of Diamonds
                           Jack of Hearts (10)

Round 3 Cards:  10 of Hearts
                            Queen of Spades (10)
                             8 of Hearts
                            10 of Spades
                             8 of Spades
                            Jack of Hearts (10)
                            Queen of Hearts (10)
                            5 of Diamonds
