Product Description

FitDeck is a unique deck of Exercise Playing Cards that makes exercise more simple, convenient, and fun. FitDecks are available in 56-card and 26-card Booster decks. 56-card FitDecks specialize in bodyweight-only exercises (i.e. Bodyweight, Junior, Senior, Yoga, Pilates, Stretch, Prenatal, and Postnatal). 26-card Boosters may require certain equipment (i.e. Exercise Ball, Pull Up bar, Dumbbell, Office, Travel, Kettlebell, etc.). Boosters can be used as a standalone workout or they can be combined with other FitDecks to create an even more challenging routine. Each card has three fitness levels to accommodate different abilities (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Cards are held in a plastic cardholder making it easy to carry and draw cards while on the go. Shuffle cards before every workout to get a random sampling of upper, middle, lower, and full-body exercises. Never spend another minute trying to decide what kind of exercises to do. FitDeck does the thinking for you. Just shuffle, draw, and go. FitDeck Bodyweight is our flagship 56-card FitDeck that contains illustrations and instructions describing 50 different upper, middle, and lower body exercises. FitDeck Bodyweight is a bodyweight-only deck that does not require any equipment. Use this FitDeck alone or combine it with related FitDecks and Booster decks (i.e. Yoga, Stretch, Dumbbell, Exercise Ball, etc.).

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, April 12, 2005

This deck of "playing cards" is fantastic. If you're like me, you're out of shape and there is no way you're going to pay the monthly fees of most exercise gyms. I got a (relatively cheap) yearly pass for centers at the city (exercise, pool, skateboard, basketball, etc.), but I ended up stopping most of that too. This deck of cards is great. Now, I can exercise all areas of my body at my pace and at home or away. No regimented set of exercises because I can change randomly and still get good workouts. I highly recommend this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Fitness Product, October 6, 2009

As a 48 year old, relatively fit, Marine who enjoys vigorous exercise, I've used a variety of products to include the much publicized - and terrific BTW - P90X. These cards are terrific for those who want a challenging, adaptable, scalable, and portable work-out.

My wife and I frequently work out together and use a combination of the FitDeck Body Weight cards augmented with a variety of Booster packs. They allow for varying fitness levels and can be scaled up or down depending on how motivated we are. It's a great way to stay in shape together.

I also travel frequently and they've proven both compact and durable. Another reviewer mentioned the small text and I concur that the specific exercise directions contained on the cards is challenging on older eyes, especially while active. Nevertheless, a few extra moments focusing on the directions which are both few and simple result in rare references to them during subsequent work-outs. I highly recommend FitDeck.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good product for starting out, September 2, 2010

This is a well made product, will hold up well after examining the makeup of the cards.
As for the content, those starting out with exercise will definitely benefit.
There is good instruction and the illustrations are rather clear.
The downside is for the regular, more advanced exerciser. I felt that there were bodyweight exercises that could have been included but were left out. There also seemed to be small variations on some exercises, such as pushups, that overall i find redundant. Some body exercises seemed to be included to just give the user a rest such as arm rotations. Cards like these I just removed.
If you go to the FitDeck website, there are suggestions on how to make these decks even more difficult and i enjoy the bit of flogging that these suggestions impart.
I would only suggest that the makers get rid of the skip next card in the deck and insert more double or repeat cards.
For the buyer, i also got the kettlebell and dumbell cards. For those without a kettlebell, you really dont need one except for a few moves such as the swing and catch. I mix all 3 decks together and work myself through all 3 for a good workout.
