Deck of Cards Workout
Draw a real 52-card deck one card at a time: each suit maps to an exercise and the card's value sets the reps. Edit the suit legend, toggle face-card and ace rules, and grind through the whole deck.

How to play
- Edit the suit-to-exercise legend if you want different moves, and set your face-card and ace rules with the toggles.
- Tap Apply legend & rules to lock in your setup and shuffle a fresh deck.
- Tap Draw Card for each rep set — the card flips face-up and shows the exact exercise and rep count for that draw.
- Keep drawing until the deck is empty; running totals per exercise update after every card, and a completion banner confirms the workout is done.
Deck of Cards Workout turns a standard 52-card deck into a full session: each suit is pinned to one exercise (spades for pushups, hearts for sit-ups, diamonds for squats, clubs for lunges by default, all editable), and every card's value becomes your rep count for that draw. Tap Draw Card to flip the next one, see the paired exercise-and-reps prompt, and watch your running total climb per exercise as you work through the deck. Toggle whether face cards count as a flat 10 or their true 11-13 value, whether the ace is a light 1 or a brutal 14, and whether to shuffle in two jokers as a 20-rep burpee wildcard. The deck never repeats a card until every one of the 52 has been drawn, so the workout always ends the same way it started — clean, complete, and fair.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from the Card Deck Simulator tool?
- Card Deck Simulator is a plain deck simulator for games — draw, burn, shuffle, reset, with optional jokers and multiple decks, but no meaning attached to any card. Deck of Cards Workout reuses that same proven 52-card shuffle-and-draw model but attaches a fitness rule on top: every suit is an exercise and every value is a rep count, with no burn pile or multi-deck option, purpose-built for a full-deck workout rather than general card play.
- What happens with face cards and aces?
- You choose: the face-card toggle switches jacks, queens and kings between a flat 10 reps each or their true positional value of 11, 12 and 13. The ace toggle switches between a light 1 rep or a tough 14 reps. Whichever combination you pick, every card in the deck uses it consistently for the whole session.
- Can I include jokers, and what do they do?
- Yes — turning on the jokers toggle adds two wildcard cards to the deck (54 total), and drawing either one always triggers a fixed 20-rep burpee penalty regardless of your face-card or ace settings, since jokers aren't tied to any suit's exercise legend.
