Just wanted to bring this back up because I saw something that might interest those who workout. While I was reading the new Ray Lewis book, he mentioned that when he was a kid he wanted to get stronger so by using a deck of cards. He took a deck of cards, flipped the cards over and based on the card, that's how many push ups he would do. 

 

5 of clubs = 5 push ups. 9 of Hearts, = 9 push ups, etc. Picture cards were worth 10 push ups, Aces were 25 push ups and Joker cards were 50 push ups. In the book he said he went through the entire 52 card deck and once there were no cards left, he shuffle the deck and restart. 

 

Been doing this the past two days, doing only a few cards at a time until my body is ready to go through the whole 52 card deck.
