I absolutely love the concept behind this app because I can definitely see it helping a lot of people to stay motivated when they might otherwise have lost the initiative to come up with new and interesting workouts.
A Full House of Fitness
Making an awesome addition to the Health & Fitness category of the App Store is this very cool app that you can use to create your own custom CrossFit WODs by using a Deck of Cards approach; all you have to do is flip a card over to start the timer and get moving!

The way it works is simple: Exercises are assigned to suits and card values dictate the number of reps you are to perform, and if you receive a Joker or Royal card then you’ll have to complete a randomized, and often difficult challenge.

Share Your WODs Online
One of the great things about Deck of Cards WOD is that it will require next to no equipment for you to get started, and it also challenges you to get through the deck as quickly as possible so you always have something to aim for by beating your previous times.
