How to Play Cards

Each fitness card shows an exercise type and a rep number (2, 3, or 4). To play a card, it must match the previous card by either:

Push-up 3 →
Push-up 2 Squat 3
V-up 4

Same Exercise: Push-Up 3 → Push-Up 2 ✓

Same Number: Push-Up 3 → Squat 3 ✓

No Match: Push-Up 3 → V-Up 4 ✗

Chain Break

A Chain Break triggers when 5 cards in a row share the same exercise OR the same number. When this happens, both players do the workout together.

Chain Break Triggers

  • 5 Same Exercise: Five Push-Up cards in a row
  • 5 Same Number: Five "3" cards in a row (any exercise)
  • Chain Break Card: Play this power card to force a Chain Break

Winning

When a player can't (or won't) play a card, they do the workout and their opponent wins that round's cards. The game ends when the deck runs out and hands are empty.

Winner: The player with the most cards in their win pile.

Tie? Compare total rep value. Still tied? It's a draw!

Intensity Levels

Each player chooses their own intensity level. This determines how each exercise is performed—everyone plays the same cards but at their own pace.

Beginner

Modified exercises for building foundation

Standard

Core movements with proper form

Advanced

Combination moves with dynamic elements

Elite

Complex sequences for super athletes

Play Modes

Single Play: Standard game—deck runs through once.

Double Play: Extended workout—shuffle the discard pile and play through again. Use this to test if you're ready to level up.

When Double Play feels manageable at your current level, it's time to move up.
