NewMe Fitness Suspension Workout Cards, Instructional Fitness Deck for Women & Men, Beginner Fitness Guide to Training Exercises at Home or Gym (Suspension, Vol 1)

I bought the NewMe yoga cards. I've been doing yoga for a decade. I love doing in person classes but only go once a week; a regular practice requires more commitment than that. Have tried videos at home several times but I never cared much for that format - my TV sits up high which makes it hard to see from the floor, and the best video instructors are never as personable or enjoyable an in person class.There are currently several different brands of yoga cards available on this shopping portal - I've tried several so far and the NewMe ones are the best I've seen yet. These cards are bigger, pleasant to handle and they're constructed of sturdy plastic; not paper like a deck of cheap playing cards. The Sanskrit and "common" name for each pose is written on the front of each card. On the flip side the poses are broken down, sometimes with modifications for the more difficult ones. The different "flow series" suggestions in the deck are great (a flow series is just a series of poses which make up a routine or session). Finally I've found a system for doing yoga at home which actually works for me. I put on some music, put out my mat and work through one of the suggested sessions in the deck. Later on I'll make my own series. So many options!I do need to come up with a better way to store my cards. As I said before, the cards themselves are great - nice quality plastic stock, but the case they are housed in is flimsy and it takes some time to cram them back into the deck once I'm done. This is just a small suggestion to the manufacturer though and not a serious criticism.Overall a great purchase. Great layout and design, quality card stock and printing and the explanation for each pose is well done. Whether you're brand new to yoga or a seasoned pro, you'll find these cards are easy and enjoyable to work with. Namaste!

I've had these cards for four days. I think I'm going to really enjoy using them.I'm 70 years old, in good health. My weight is good, though I'm sure my BMI could stand to be a lot better (I do intermittent fasting, and am moderately low-carb in my eating, but I can't completely control my wife's decisions when it comes to cooking pasta, bread and such).I have never been a heavy or consistent exerciser. I'm hoping that with the help of these cards I can make a new start, and follow through with a regular fitness routine that I will stick with. My goals are 1) to rebuild lost muscle mass, 2) get stronger, and 3) to develop a physique that will make people gasp when I tell them my age(!). I do think numbers 1 and 2 are achievable. As for #3, we'll just have to see!One of my problems with exercising in the past has been boredom over doing the same routine every day. These cards should provide plenty of variety. Now the main obstacle will be simply keeping myself from skipping days, which always leads to skipping weeks and then months. But I do feel that by alternating and mixing up different exercises, I'll have a better chance at overcoming such avoidance.There are 50 exercises in the deck, plus some suggested routines for working different parts of the body. I am ignoring the suggested routines and plan instead to follow my own loose and unstructured routine, basically just shuffling the cards and choosing a half dozen at random to work with each day. Since I'm just now starting, that could change depending on how well (or not) such a routine meets my needs.I plan to start exercising for "real" tomorrow. I have spent the past few days, since the cards arrived, trying out each exercise in turn in order to create a whittled-down deck that will meet my needs and abilities. First, I set aside all the cards that require equipment I don't have, such as a weight bench and step-box (or whatever that thing is called). Then, I set aside all the cards with exercises that I found "impossible;" that is, I couldn't do even a single rep.After my winnowing process, I was left with 28 cards to use. I think this will provide plenty of variety, as I'll probably only be using a different half-dozen or so each day. As my strength and confidence improves, and I acquire a bench, etc., I may try to add back in some of the other cards. But I'm not going to worry about that right now. Let's see if I can be consistent and stay motivated with just those 28 first.My plan right now is to do three sets of 10 to 15 reps of each day's chosen exercises. Note that that is purely aspirational at this point! Although none of the 28 exercises were impossible for me to perform when I was trying them out, many were definitely hard. I expect that I'll have to build up to my target reps/sets over some time. This will give me a good goal to shoot for, though.As to the cards themselves, I can tell that a lot of thought went into their design. The illustrations and the instructions for the exercises are minimalist (a necessity for fitting on the card format), but clear and to the point. I had no trouble understanding any of them. In the past I have tried following exercises from books, YouTube videos and fitness apps, but I think having these cards at hand will be much more usable. They'll be easy to flip through, shuffle up, and lay out close to where I'm exercising, and therefore more readily referenceable.I'm glad I bought these cards, and am optimistic that they'll be just what I needed to kick-start my new commitment to getting fitter.

It's cool just opened the package and it came like cut open

These cards are good quality. I use them to make up and easily change exercise routines.

Cards are great quality! So user friendly! The only downside is that the paper box is too flimsy for the high-quality plastic cards. It would be better if the box was made of plastic or metal.

Love these and will get the other sets.
