Calistic turns a 52-card deck into your entire workout. Draw a card, check the value, do the reps. No gym required, no equipment needed — just you and the deck. HOW IT WORKS Every card has a value: Ace = 1 rep, number cards = face value, Jack = 11, Queen = 12, King = 13. Draw a card, do the reps, draw again. Complete all 52 cards to finish the deck and earn your stats. GAME MODES • Classic — Pick your exercise, draw cards, do the reps. You control the workout, the deck controls the intensity. • Random — The app picks a different exercise every draw. Push-Ups one card, Squats the next.
