Nuruplanet Exercise Anywhere Cards Review and Giveaway

This post is a review of the Nuruplanet Exercise Anywhere Cards. At the end of the post, you will find instructions on how to win a Nuruplanet Exercise Anywhere of your own from Small Steps to Health. Since I do not get that many commenting on my blog, your chances of winning is probably pretty high.

Targeted Audience

The exercise cards states that their targeted audience is anyone who wants to exercise without having to hit a local gym.

In my opinion, a traveler might find this deck of exercise cards more useful than an exercise newbie.  I will explain why in the sample routine section of this post.  I would probably throw in my exercise tube or exercise band in my suitcase along with these cards.

What is in the Nuruplanet Exercise Anywhere Cards

There are a total of 30 cards in the deck. The first three cards gives you some ideas on how to use the exercise cards. The last four cards are some ideas for cardio and how to incorporate them into your routine. The exercises included in the exercise cards include:

Discussion of What I Do Not Like about Nuruplanet Exercise Anywhere Cards

I am not too sure whether an exercise newbie might find enough direction from the exercise cards alone to create a routine that might be easy, yet challenging enough (do those words sound like an oxymoron?) for them to see results.

There is a good explanation of each exercise, but no good explanation of how to fit it all together.

The exercise cards recommend changing your routine, but it does not show you how.  This is understandable since you cannot fit all that you need to know about fitness into 30 2″x3″ cards.

Another thing I do not like is how they split the upper body exercises in their sample routine.  I usually like to work the front and back of my body at the same time.  If I am going to work my chest, I like to work my back on the same day.  If you follow their sample routine, you do not work the opposing muscle group until 4 days later!

	Nuruplant Sample Routine	Asithi’s Routine
Monday	Chest, Shoulders, Triceps	Chest, back, biceps, triceps
Tuesday	Cardio – Jogging	Cardio
Wednesday	Lower body, Abs	Lower body, Abs
Thursday	Cardio – Squat thrusts	Cardio
Friday	Back, biceps	Chest, back, biceps, triceps
Saturday	Cardio – Jumping rope	Cardio
Sunday	Rest

My upper body is much weaker than my lower body, so my routine with these exercise cards is a little more focus on building up that area.

Discussion of What I Like about Nuruplanet Exercise Anywhere Cards

I like how compact the exercise cards are.  I can just throw these cards and an exercise tube or exercise band in my suitcase when I travel. Or you can use a towel for some of the upper body work, but I prefer the tubes because it would give me some extra resistance when I do the squats or lunges.

I like the illustration of the muscle group that you are trying to work with the exercises.  I used exercise cards in the past, but they usually do not have this illustration and as an exercise newbie you need to know which muscle you are suppose to feel working.
