Love this deck of cards!
These are great if you're 52, out of shape, and want to do SOMETHING, but don't know how to start! Everyone knows that it's important to do weight-bearing exercises, but if you've never done this before, it can be intimidating. So, here's why I love these cards: They are simple -- I don't want to wade through a bunch of information about each muscle group in my body -- I just want to know HOW to do some exercises. I like the pictures -- they're simple. If I want a bit more info about form and timing, that's on the back of the card. I like that I can pick out a series of 'lower body', 'back', 'core' and 'upper body' cards so I get a little bit of everything in one 30 minute session. I like that they are rated (easy to hard) so I was able to pick out cards that were 'easy' when I started using them and I will work up to the more difficult exercises once I've been at this a while. My MOST favorite thing about the cards is that they lay flat on the floor or table -- I HATE when you're trying to follow information from a book and it's impossible to keep it open and flat. Also, being individual cards, you can shuffle them around and change up the work out -- keeps it interesting and you don't get bored! I'm so glad I bought them!

Instructions on back of card
I've posted a picture of the back of one of the cards. Not sure why this isn't in the promo pics. I look forward to using these to organize my workouts.

Hole punch and put on a ring
Love these cards! I'm a visual learner so these are perfect for me! I did hole punch and put on a ring for easier flip through. I take them to the gym with me too and others have asked for them too!

Perfect for me!
I originally purchased a competing product, the Dumbbell Stack 52, to provide me with exercise variety. Although I like the layout of those colorful cards with a slew of useful information, I realized that those cards were a bit too small for me. Hence, I searched elsewhere here on Amazon. After some research, I ordered these cards. I find them perfect for me. The size is about 3" x 5" - about the size of an index card. Since I did wanted to keep the cards organized and clean, I chose to store them in a clear index box, which I had previous purchased also on Amazon. The product, although similar to my initial purchase, clearly shows the movements with larger graphics. In some ways, the Dumbbell Stack 52, is nicer laid out, but for my needs, I decided to forgo the pretty graphics for the larger black & white graphics. Sometimes, size does matter!

No more boring, repetitive workouts! Truly a tailored fitness experience!
These cards are *amazing*. This is actually the second set I've purchased - my college kid uses mine on the regular when he's home for break, so I bought him a set recently for Christmas.I love that I can schedule my workout week sensibly and safely - I really appreciate the tips on the backs of the cards! The calorie burn is accurate, if not a bit conservative. Lifting heavier will burn more, but the suggested burn is near perfect for lighter lift days. The HIIT and Core cards are such a nice bonus, too!My favorite part of this item is that I can do my workout...at my pace...without any annoying outdated music or chatting from a trainer, like you'd find on a DVD. I get burned out easily from repetition (as in, the same dry jokes or WHOOO! in a DVD), and have bagged MANY workout programs, but these cards are perfect for keeping me excited about my fitness!The quality of the card is really nice, too - thick enough that they won't bend easily and coated just enough that dripping sweat won't damage them - and you WILL drip sweat!!I'm really impressed with this item and appreciate the price point. I've spent hundreds of dollars on programs in the past that are now hidden away in a DVD case, losing value daily. For about $20, I am again looking forward to my ever-changing workout and health. Thank you so much for a great product!! Happy and Healthy 2018 to us all!

One of My Best Purchases - Ever
These cards have to be one of the best purchases I have ever made - ever. I was always struggling to put together a dumbbell workout. I would look online and piece together workouts but was never hitting targeted areas hard enough, with enough exercises. These cards do the thinking for me. They are divided into various workouts, Core, Back, Triceps, etc. I am getting a great workout and they allow you to mix up cards and made your own routine or substitute different workouts if you have injuries and cannot do one of the planned exercises in the workout. They also show you which body group you are working and what you should be feeling so you know if you are doing the exercises correctly. I absolutely love these. I am looking for additional workouts they have. Absolutely love them!

Great! Buy it!
I bought this for my husband as a birthday gift. He is not a gym goer, never has been, prefers to work out at home. With the current pandemic situation, we've both been doing home workouts. I thought this would be a good gift for him for ideas. (We have a weight bench, kettle bells and free weights.) He loves it. He said the pictures and workout ideas are great.I'm a gym rat and have created my own workouts for years, but usually use the gym equipment. Working out at home now I've been using the cards for specific routines. A lot easier to use then constantly stopping to look up youtube videos. Would recommend!

Great cards but now not available except shipped from us to uk
Other cards I have seen include blanks, are one sided, are not laminated etc. Not these - whoever dreamt them up put some real thought into them - each exercise has tips on the back, there are routines for which part of the body you would like to concentrate on or you can make up your own. I use them every day in conjunction with a simple interval timer on my phone, I set a rest period of 20 seconds between each set of reps, just in time to turn the card to the next exercise. I find them even simpler than a wall chart, and if you get bored with the same thing every day simply look for and insert a new card, or shuffle them up. Its a pity they have gone out of stock as if I had known how good they are I would have bought both volumes of the dumbell training set. Hopefully once a certain situation eases we will see new supplies in the UK. Highly recommendedUpdate July 2021 now sadly only available shipped direct from us to Uk which adds to the cost and this company still sends promotional emails about products where most are out of stock… great pity as it’s a good product… you just won’t let me buy it!!

Ideal & beginner friendly
I did not realise there were so many dumbbell routines. The cards are laminated so can be held will you're all hot and sweaty. There are several set methods to tone up upper, core back, lower body, lose weight or your custom choice. Been practising for three months so far, toning up nicely, belly is going, love handles next objective. lol..!
