Obviously the shoulder press can be anything you have round the garden.</em> ♠ squat jumps ♥ burpees ♦ 15m run ♣ push ups jokers: tuck jumps <em>This is a long one due to the 15m run (one rep takes longer to execute than most exercises). I am less keen on this as I find myself taking a breather on the run, which isn't the idea</em>! ♠ burpees ♥ kettlebell swings ♦ jumping lunges ♣ mountain climbers jokers: tuck jumps <em>This is the one in the video. Really like this one!</em> Generally speaking, a good mix of exercises that work the whole body and make you move differently is good. Get creative, use whatever is around the garden - benches, bags, stones etc. Also I always have burpees in there because they simply can't be beaten as a circuit exercise. Here are some of the recent Deck of Cards workouts I’ve done.

I was actually going to write about the exact same workout today. We must have tapped into the same stream of consciousness. Been reading about it quite a lot lately. I plan to incorporate it into my clients fat loss workouts. It also ties in with my love of poker! Nice. I was actually going to write about the exact same workout today.
