Game Night, er, Morning at the Nest 8/31/2021
PAX of 2 for a Q on short notice. I saw that no one had signed up as of the day before, and so I took the opportunity to explore an idea I had. A twist on an old classic, the Deck of Death.
FNGs: None
Warm Up: Quick run down to the wall at end of parking lot and back; Good Mornings x10; SSH x10; Sir Fazio Arm Circles forward and back x10; Seal Claps x10; Imperial Walkers x10; Hillbillies x10
The Workout:
YHC presented a normal-enough looking deck of cards for what appeared to be the basic Deck of Death. I announced the following 4 exercises:
♣ Clubs – Dips in cadence
♥ Hearts – Monkey Humpers in cadence
♦ Diamonds – World War IIs
♠ Spades – Side Straddle Hops in cadence
PAX took turns drawing a card and then counting that exercise. Baaasic
Gamecock got us rolling and drew a face card from the US Flag deck. [I made sure to stack a few normal playing cards at the top of the deck so as to avoid suspicion.]
I drew a face card. Gamecock drew a face card. I drew a face card. Gamecock drew a face card.
[Ok, weird, but not fishy.]
At some point, Gamecock comments that this is starting to feel like a Pinochle deck. He explains what that is, and I laugh.
The first non-playing card to be drawn is a Munchkin Pathfinder card [full disclosure: I’ve never played Munchkin Pathfinder. Received it as a gift 4-5 years ago and haven’t so much as opened the box until I started prepping for this workout and needed cards that were the same size as my playing cards]. We run down to the wall and back
And now Gamecock is suspicious.
The game continues, as we uncover all the face cards and 10s, as well as cards from Monopoly Deal, Monopoly Deal Millionaire, and Phase 10.
These non-playing cards yielded the following exercises:
Monopoly Deal – Durkins on the curb x10
Monopoly Deal Millionaire – Urkins on the curb x10
Phase 10 (all Wild cards) – Drawer’s choice x10
Total workout: 340 reps + 6 runs to the wall and back
