Partner Games

10 reps of each – Perform 10 repetitions of each exercise no matter what the exercise is. For a better cardio workout, don’t give yourself any rest in between.

1-2-3 – perform the first card drawn 1x, the second card drawn 2x, and the third card drawn 3x in a row. Then repeat the cycle.

One color only workouts - focus your workout on a specific color (upper, middle, lower, or full)

52-card Pick-Up - Someone chooses “face up” or “face down”. Throw the entire deck in the air and let the cards float to the ground. Perform all the “face up” or “face down” cards depending what the person called. This usually translates into 30 – 35 cards.

Double or nothing - guess the color of the next card - if correct, skip a card - if wrong, do it 2x.

Beg-Int-Adv – perform 1st card at the beginner level, 2nd card at intermediate level, 3rd card at advanced level (then repeat the cycle)

1-minute straight - Perform the selected card for 1 minute straight, then immediately go to the next card, with no break. For example, if you picked Squats, you would perform squats for 60 seconds straight, no matter how many repetitions you complete. Disregard the fitness levels (beg, int, adv) on this game.

Even or odd? - Shuffle the deck and have some decide if they want to remove one card from the deck or not. If yes, remove a card and put it to the side; if not then continue on. Go through the deck performing the exercises but skip every other card (keep a separate pile of skipped cards face down). When you’ve thrown your last card, count the cards to see if you have an even # or odd # of cards. If odd, turn over the face down cards and complete all of these “skipped cards”. If even, you’re done with your workout.

Tit–for-Tat – shuffle the deck of cards and insert deck into the Card Holder. One partner then chooses a card for the other partner to perform. When the first partner finishes the exercise, the roles are reversed. Continue selecting each other’s cards until either partner cannot complete their chosen card.

Partner Challenge – after shuffling the cards, each partner selects the number of cards they think they can complete while adhering to a strict one-minute time limit. Each partner then performs their cards to see if they can finish their selected cards.

The FitDeck Good Night Challenge – keep FitDeck on the nightstand and challenge your husband or wife to a brief FitDeck Challenge prior to retiring for the night.

[Keep in mind, partners do not have to play at the same fitness level. For example, an Intermediate can challenge a Beginner. The Intermediate would play the Intermediate numbers and the Beginner plays the Beginner numbers. This is a good way to handicap players of different fitness levels.]
