Or, it could just be a small interface (no buttons, etc) that simply can transmit details of where the sledgehammer is to the Wii.
Stick it onto the head or haft or something like that.

Neat trick with some veggies if you're short on time... ... take, say, some asparagus. Put 'em in a relatively shallow microwave-safe pan or dish, pour in some water, and nuke for ~5 minutes. Honestly, they've come out better that way than sometimes when we boil 'em. Haven't tried with, say, broccol...

Eh shrug. I don't know about the routine being hardcore, really, it just seems to work for me. This and that I've picked up over the years. Well, regarding stretching... a few years ago, I got into very good shape over the course of a year or so. "Boot Camp" by The Sarge (Patrick Avon) helped with t...

WinstonWolf's regular routine (Jan 08)
Figured I'd contribute... I'll start with what I usually do in addition to SG: I. I need to start always doing a warmup of 5-10 minutes of stuff, a few pushups, squats, jumping jacks, etc to get the body moving. I haven't been doing that much but it really helps when I do it. After that... II. Usual...

I generally don't snack, although we have Fiber One bars, I usually have at least one a day at a meal or otherwise. I often have a "mini-meal" mid-afternoon at work, though, say an apple or banana and 7-10 almonds. Seconds aren't generally a problem for me either - although the portions at my workpl...

Don't know - depends on your yoga style and experience, really, and time availability. If you have the time, 14 minutes of SG then 14-18 minutes of this would definitely be a solid workout! And only about a half hour time investment, not bad for a full-body workout. When I do just this DVD workout a...

I've got it - it's pretty technical, but it's also pretty fun. I'm not doing it very often. Sonnen has put out a TON of material, and I picked up one of his joint mobility DVDs for half price, and I'm doing that more often. For $7, can't hurt, anyway, as long as you take it carefully. It is basicall...

I wanted to add a variant that I do when I do "tuck bales", as doing it with just arms seems... slightly off to me. Then again, I didn't actually read your description of "tuck bales" before I did it myself, so I did it the way I thought I should do it, and still do. I actually do these as squats. T...

Hmm. Don't know about that. I actually, as a bit of a reward for having done 1) SG since the beginning of September, and 2) finished the last Saturday class for this MBA term, I went out and got a 12 lb sledge. (Not last class for the term, more's the pity, but no more Saturdays.) Took going to 4 st...

So far, I whacked my calf once doing a one-handed T-swing (and getting careless). Hurt like hell for a few days, then it stopped. Was hard to walk on for a couple days, but ice and rest and laying off exercise worked fine. Thankfully, I have thick calves. I'm quite a bit more careful now... particul...

My discovery over the weekend: Country Time lemonade (in the 2 liter bottle) does not agree with me. Not that it really did before, mind you.

I started with an 8 lb hammer about a month ago (I'm 5'7", was 220 to start, now 215 consistently after about a month of shovelglove, NoS, and a few other exercises - pushups, pilates, some kettlebell, sprints...).

Another interesting one...
So... I've been doing shovelglove (and a variety of other exercises, including pushups and pilates, which I like)... 5 days a week for 3-4 weeks now. Almost nothing on Saturday, my designated "no significant exercise" day, and a bit more on Sundays. My squatting has improved a lot. A month ago, I co...

Or the even simpler step of just slowly cutting down on what you eat. If you normally have 3 candy bars a day... next week, limit yourself to no more than 2 a day. The week after that, 1 a day. The week after that, 1 every couple days. Eventually, slowly, you'll get to "regular NoS" level. It's not ...
