How It Works
There are three different intensity categories you can work from:
- No Sweat
- I’m Glistening
- Sweating Buckets
Each category of 10 cards contains exercises that challenge all major muscle groups for a comprehensive total body strength-training and cardiovascular workout at the same time, using no equipment.
The length of your workout will be determined by how many cards you perform and the duration you set on the programmable interval timer. If you are short on time, keep it quick and only choose a few cards. If you’ve got more time, select more cards and even repeat the cycle over as many times as you can take it!
It is recommended you begin with 30-second intervals, however, if 30 seconds is too long, start with a shorter duration until you build up your capacity.
After setting the timer, you’ll perform the 5 Warm-up & Cool Down cards and then jump in to the heart of your workout. You’ll draw your first exercise card, do as many repetitions as you can during the interval, and when the timer beeps you’ll hit stop, draw your next card, hit start on the timer and get going on your next exercise. You’ll move from one card to the next as quickly as possible and continue on until you are out of cards or have repeated the cycle as many times as desired. Finish with the 5 Warm-up & Cool Down cards and you are done!

A combination of necessity and experience led me to create PowerHouse Hit the Deck™.
I am on the road traveling and speaking anywhere from two to five times a month, run my own business, and am a mother. I understand how difficult it can be to find time to exercise on a regular basis. I also understand how critically important movement and exercise are to my mental and physical health.
When I set aside time to exercise, I want the maximum benefit in the minimum amount of time. No fooling around — I want results!
At home I don't belong to a gym and when I travel, the "fitness center" mentioned at the hotel may possibly consist of a converted linen closet containing an old fan-style exercise bike and a set of rusty dumbbells.
However, I don't let circumstances stop me. As an exercise physiologist, I understand how to use gravity and bio-mechanics to get a great workout using my own body in a small amount of space.
