cards.
1xdeck 52 cards
1-4 players
your favorite exercises
pups, chins, squats, situps or whatever you like.

add an exercise to each set
mine were
spades=push ups
hearts=chin\pullups
clubs=squats
diamonds=situps

each player in turn picks a card and does the related exercise eg, 8 spades = 8 push ups.

or you can do each exercise for 30 secs eg spade = 30 secs of push ups

30 sec exercise 15-30 secs rest.

nice work out.

Dice
Grab 2-3 dice, choose 2-4 different exercises eg burpees, chins, pups, squats situps etc. (what eva you want)

list the exercises in numerical order 1,2,3,4 etc (no more than four exercises)

grab the dice and roll. add the total from the 2-3 dice and perform that number of reps for the first exercise eg. 3+6=9, first exercise is burpees, then perform 9 burpees. 20 secs rest grab the dice and roll again, this time use exercise number 2, and so on, do 10 rounds. each round is 1 set of all the 4 exercises, then repeat for a total of 10 rounds.

if you dont want to have th 20 second rest you can run 20-30 meters between each roll (10m away and 10m back to the dice)

or if you have a friend you rest while they exercise, and switch

so easy and so much fun ha ha ha

I use a dice for my sprint training, as follows:

Set 6 cones out (or markers of some sort) a set distance apart (I've never measured it). Each cone represents a face of the dice, eg, the nearest to your starting position is 1 dot, and the furthest is 6 dots. After warming up, I go to my start position and pull the dice from my pocket, and whatever number I can see that is inbetween my fingers, I have to run to the corresponding cone.

So if I pulled a 3 on the dice, I would sprint to the 3rd cone, then while I'm jogging back to the start position, I put the dice in my pocket and pull it out again, most likely at a different number. Maybe this time it's number 5, so once I get back to the start position, I have to sprint to the 5th cone. I like this method because you don't know what is going to happen next, eg, during randori or sparring, you don't know how much energy you will need to use in the next 30 seconds, until you're partner starts applying pressure as well. I find this a great workout for the lungs and legs.

I might start taking another dice with me for the other pocket, and I will have to do 10 reps of an exercise before doing the sprint, we'll see...
