PTDICE(c) Set #1: Calisthenics
If you are a regular follower of this blog you probably already know that I designed and marketed PTDICE (c) a couple of weeks ago. If you want a tool that allows you to create a random calisthenics workout with a roll of the dice, go get yourself a set.
And, for a quick rundown of the calisthenics featured on the dice and how to do those exercises, view the video below.
How do you put a million random workouts in the palm of your hand? You buy these little beauties from PTDICE.com. These are high quality, laser etched, 16mm plastic dice made in the U.S.A.
Are you a martial artist looking to train for the unexpected?
An adventure racer, mud runner, or obstacle course enthusiast who wants to be ready for whatever a course throws your way?
A fitness or martial arts instructor who is out of ideas for calisthenics routines, or just wants an extra resource?
Or maybe you work out at home and you’re looking for some variety?
If so, check out these beauties.
Roll the black dice to arrive at the workout type, number of exercises, and number of sets. Use the colored dice to arrive at your list of exercises. Then make a quick calculation using your SSM (“Single Set Max”) to figure your reps per set, and you’re ready to sweat. The instructions are short and sweet and easily committed to memory. Use these dice a few times and you won’t even need the instructions.
Roll. Sweat. Repeat.
In time you’ll find other ways to use them. They are ripe for experimentation, a virtual playground for geeks who love exercise (like me).

Bottom line: PTDICE put a million random workouts in the palm of your hand, and can be used to create a new workout in seconds.
I got so much traffic whenever I blogged about my homemade workout dice that I’ve decided to pursue marketing them. As of right now we are still working with manufacturers to get the best pricing and service, formatting packing and instructions, etc. but we hope to be on the market soon.

What is Heritage Rough ‘n’ Tumble? It’s mind-body-spirit form of American Rough ‘n’ Tumble, which began as a manner of no-holds-barred fighting in the Southern Virginia backcountry during the Colonial Era and has since grown, evolved, and adapted to the realities of modern self-defense. An amalgam of the varying techniques brought to America by colonists from all over the world, blended with the fighting methods of the over 900 distinct indigenous tribes, American Rough ‘n’ Tumble is perhaps the world’s most fearsome martial art.
