Aces = 50 sit-ups
Shuffle a deck of cards, flip over all 52, and run through the deck without stopping. This is a completely random workout and each one will be different - that's the fun of it :-)

4 rounds, 1 minute each station, 1 minute rest between rounds:
GHD sit-ups
Rower
Bench press (3/4 bodyweight)
Push-ups
Scoring is just like Fight Gone Bad. Count the number of repetitions you perform within the 1 minute period. For the rower, use your calorie mode. At the end, add up all your numbers for the 4 rounds.

21-15-9 Reps:
95-lb Thrusters
Pull-ups

12/11/05 WOD
Tabata squats
Run 1 mile
Tabata squats
To score the workout, take the sum of your Round 1 and Round 2 Tabata scores and divide by the time for the mile. So if you scored 20 on the first round of Tabata squats and 15 on the second round, and ran a 5-minute mile, your score would be (20 + 15) / 5 = 7.
