Hi, just giving some piece of info that I learned lately. A little intro: a friend of mine who's a life coach had a few clients hiring her to help them loose weight and maintain weight loss. In order to be able to do the job properly, she had to check into that subject quite in depth. She is not a p...

Hey there, I'm an unrepentant, chaotic evil biker (biked 1275 km (a little under 800 mi) this summer and wrecked havoc all over the place!) Naw just kidding for the evil part. Although I must admit that I'm not the most lawful biker in town, I have noticed that signalling (which is still quite in fa...

Another new start!
Hey all, hello Reinhard not too sure how things are around here, but back I am! For those who don't know me, I started Shovelgloving in October 2006, did it pretty steadily for more than 2 years and then had a moment off, took it back for almost a year, then off again and back again! This morning wa...

Hey Sherlock, I also found that shovelglove is a little like chess. Once you discovered it, you can never completely abandon it. I shovelgloved steadily for a while and then life happened and I missed a few sessions (according to my HabitCal, last time I did it was in last October). No kidding I did...

It is as if you were handling a scythe. Check Phayze vids, it's in there.

Hi Sherlock! The other thing I would mention is Minnesota is miserable in Winter; I really antsy for it to warm up so I can start walking more. (I suppose I *could* go for walks now, but I am not especially interested in doing so when its 2 or 3 degrees above 0.) I just need to find something else t...

Hey shuggers! Seems like things have slowed down a little over here, but it nice to see that the bulletin board is still in use! By the way, it's nice to see the new faces and to notice the real hardcore shugger that are still posting! For no real reason my shugging days almost came to a halt in the...

Short Hiatus
Hello all, After a family extension (commonly known as birth of a new child), I am back after over 2 months off. The first few days are particularly hard, but I'm sure that those 14 minutes will soon pass like a breeze. For the new ones on this forum, I've been shugging since octobre 2006 and I am n...

Jules, here's how I see it. Paddling (like in a canoe) you stick the paddle in the water straight, in front of you and you pull the "water" along, as close to your body as you can and as far behind as comfortable/possible. You hold the paddle with one hand on the end and the other as close as you ca...

Hi Urbansix, I find the idea of opening a stuffed animal and fixingit at the end of the sledge wonderfull! That's a safe way to customize your glove and that would be nice, after a while, to see the thing people came up with. Some kind of picture board of the shovelgloves!!! But as Deb put it, the e...

Hi Reinhard (sorry for the mistake in my previous post, damn frenchmen! :P) Thanks for the nice word. I know it's quite a jump and that's why I feared that it would be really hard. One thing that I forgot to mention though, is that my regular routine usually includes all the movements I mentionned p...

Hi all and special salutations to Reinhart, thank you so much for your invention and ideas. For me, October marks a year of shovelgloving. I didn't do it as steadily as I would have liked, but I did it. Lately, I've raised my average from 3 days a week to a steady 4 days and I'm trying to do 5 days ...

Great going Mr_B. Like you I find it easier to count reps. I used to do a lot of roleplaying games but it just doesn't work on that one. That is great that you can keep up with 20 mins, I tend to look at the clock when I'm playing with the hammer. And I know exactly what you mean by "exercizing at 6...

For next week, you might have a minute and check for a stretch band as somebody (can't remember who and I can't find the link... :( if somebody remember, post please!) was mentionning. That way you can do a bit of degra...

Ianp123, I know the feeling, a few years ago, I was doing medieval sword fighting and regularly I had to take the bus with two bastard swords (4'½ to 5' long sword), a rapier (short, only 3' long) and a main-gauche (big 1 foot-long knife) strapped on my backpack. No need to say that people were loo...

Hi Kevin, I might not be called an "Oldtimer" as is, but I've been shugging for more than 8 months now and I'm at the point were it is harder to not shug on N-days than to shug. With the summer coming in, I got my bike out and I still shug a couple mornings a week even though I have a full one-hour ...

Hi Biglambo, your move made me think of something sent by JWL a long time ago (sorry I could not find the link)... He called it "crack the whip". The move starts as flip the lever and once your arm is fully bent, keep lifting your arm and rotating until the hammer is behind your shoulder. Don't push...

Thanks for the support guys, this morning shugging was particularly intense due to the nice words!

The couple...
