Either way, if you're getting tired of the usual card games, try The Deck of Cards Workout instead.
You can create an awesome workout, just using a deck of cards. I've seen a couple of different workouts online, but this one from Brian Korning is my favorite:

It’s very simple. A trainer (or partner) takes a deck of playing cards (sans Jokers) and shuffles them. Each of the four suites (hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades) is assigned a particular exercise. The number of each exercise you do is the face value of the cards with 2-10 equal to the number, jacks = 11, queens = 12, kings = 13 and aces = 14. The timer begins when you flip the very first card. The person who is flipping the cards will have the next card on the top of the deck ready so that as soon as you complete that exercise, you go right into the next one. You can take rest breaks to catch your breath and get a drink of water. But… the clock keeps running.The Exercises
I like to use the four exercises that Jay initially put me through. They are as follows:
- Hearts = Push Ups (Ladies can do them from the knees)
- Diamonds = Sit Ups (or crunches)
- Spades = Squats with a weight (10 lbs for ladies, 25 lbs for men)
- Clubs = Burpees
