The unexpected theme of our 2015-16 Intro trip. Primitive weaponry, 40 foot accessions in 20+ mph winds and 40 degrees, moonlight fireside talks, and mouthwatering healthy Texas style chili illuminate the tales we experienced. Come read and get a feel for yourself what in means to begin seeking after truth.

Welcome to the first of Veritas' "deck of cards workouts!" Each week (give or take), we will post a workout which requires little to no equipment other than a simple deck of playing cards. Simply shuffle the deck, place it face-down, and then flip over the top card. Using the descriptions below, you will complete the reps and exercise assigned to that card (e.g., if 2-10 of Diamonds are lateral plyo push-ups, and you flip over the 9 of Diamonds, you will do 9 plyo push-ups; if you flip over a queen of any suit, you'll complete 8 shokti kicks, etc.). After completing the necessary reps and exercise indicated by that card, you'll flip over the next card and do the assigned exercise for it. Continue in this manner until you've made it through the entire deck! Good luck! :)
Card Workout 1.0 comes complete with tutorial videos from Grant (and Cassie, sort of). Below is the workout description and the how-to video links.
