They said write about what you think about. Write about what you read about. Write about what's one your mind. So here we go. Ride along if you would.

When you're trying to get in shape, or keep in shape, sometimes it feels helpful to read and see how other people are working out. I don't know how I got there, (sometimes that happens when your surfing the internet) but I came across Prison Workout.

Now, if you're stuck in prison and you want to stay in shape, chances are there isn't a huge workout facility for you to go to every day. Inmates find some pretty creative ways to stay fit. They've come up with a whole list of exercises you can do to keep in shape, using your own body weight and very little space.

One of the exercises that caught my eye was The Deck of Pain. All you need is a deck of cards, enough room to do simple pushups and of course some time.

Deck of Pain

Got a deck of cards? Make them work for you. The deck of pain is a way to use the slick gambler's favorite tool for more than just five card stud.

Take a 52-card deck and shuffle the cards so you have no idea what card will come up next. Flip the first card and do however many push-ups the card says. For face cards—jack, queen, and king—do 10 push-ups. When you turn up an ace, do 11 push-ups. Once completed, you will have done 380 push-ups. For the Deck of Pain neophyte, shoot to complete the deck in less than 15 minutes.

It sounds like an interesting challenge. I might have to try it sometime and see how long it takes me to finish.

How about you? Would you consider adding prison workout routines to your fitness plan?
