A good way to help make your exercise more fun is to make a game out of it. Here is a dice game that you can play that will also give you a great workout. It is also even more fun if you have a partner playing with you and you can alternate turns rolling the dice.

You can either do the same exercises together or you can each roll your own exercises and then compare each others workouts at the end.

First off you need two dice. You will roll one dice to determine the exercise that you will do. For example:

1 = Squats
2 = Push-Ups
3 = Rower
4 = Alternating Lunges
5 = Ring Rows or Jumping Pull-Ups
6 = Burpees

Then you’ll roll again to see how many reps your are going to do or meters if you roll the rower. Some special rules may apply for example after rolling:

Squats - Then roll two dice together. If you roll an odd number you will multiply that number by two and that will be your reps. If you roll an even number you will just do that many reps. Example: Roll a 3 equals 6 reps, Roll an 8 and that equals 8 reps.

Push-Ups - Then roll two dice together. Whatever number you roll that is the amount of reps you do.

Rower - Then roll one dice. 1 = 100 meters. So if you roll a 6 then you will do 600 meters.

Alternating Lunges - Then roll two dice together. If you roll an odd number you will multiply that number by two and that will be your reps. If you roll an even number you will just do that many reps. Example: Roll a 3 equals 6 reps, Roll an 8 and that equals 8 reps. With this exercise you want to have an even number so you can split that number in half and do the same amount of reps on each side. So if you rolled a 5 which is an odd number you will double that number and it will be a total of 10 reps. Then you will do 5 reps on each leg.

Ring Row or Jumping Pull-Ups - Then roll two dice together. Whatever number you roll that is the amount of reps you do.

Burpees - Then roll two dice together. Whatever number you roll that is the amount of reps you do.

Do this for about 25 minutes straight with minimal amount of rest and I guarantee you will get a great workout. You will also have more fun in the process.

You can also vary up the exercises. If I am rolling one dice for the exercises and doing mainly bodyweight, I like to have two upper body exercises, two lower body exercises, and two cardio/conditioning exercises. You can mix in anything though such as Kettlebell exercises and more.

If you wanted to have a bigger selections of exercises you can have 12 exercises to choose from and roll two dice for the exercises.

Try it out and let us know how it goes. Have Fun!
