The Constantly Varied part of the CrossFit prescription can be a problem when you’re away from your home base. The Hopper Deck is a fully operational poker deck that contains 54 WODs to take on the road with you.   It originated as a brainstorm during a post-workout shower.   A deck of cards would be an excellent and efficient way to carry a set of “random” workouts on the road, away from the Internet or your local gym.  Making it a functioning poker deck meant that it wouldn’t be dead weight and therefore more likely to actually go on a trip.   Also, you can create your own WOD generator with it, having each suit correspond with a movement. Each person flips a card and the everyone does the prescribed number of reps of that movement.

Pick a card, any card!
