And specifically about knees : Two anecdotal things: 1 . my almost 60 year old friend who needs two knee replacements sometime. Her doctor recommended an exercise bike. When she uses it, she feels better. She has the upright full bike type. 2. my almost 70 year old mother who just got a knee replace...

Here's a link to the pedal exerciser I mentioned in my post: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-3615015-2981600?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=pedal+exerciser And, it sounds like the same thing that someone else mentioned as well. The heavier duty ones (also the more expensive ones) see...

modified grip -- flip the lever
I've returned to shovelglove after a long hiatus from it and any type of exercise and I found that my wrist was hurting after I performed this move whereas in earlier periods of shovelgloving I had no problem with it. So what I'm doing is I hold the hammer so my arm is at a 90 degree angle to the ha...

hi lost :D I just turned 40 (Mar. 24th) and have at least 70-80 pounds to lose. In 2002, for the first time ever, I started exercising. I was going to the gym 5-6 days a week. I lifted weights, and I did cardio. (First treadmill, then stationary bike.) Then I had a big flare-up of plantar fasciitis ...

but I spent a whole lecture thinking about how I wanted it for lunch ( although I'd had it for breakfast this morning)....surely craving a certain food that much is not normal?? If you really want granola for lunch, then have it for lunch too. I really love breakfast and sometimes I'll have "breakf...

How about an image of a sledgehammer (naked -- wouldn't want the sweater to confuse people):

I don't suppose the Couch to 5k program was from coolrunning.com? Nope. I looked at that one though. It was one from triathlete.com (I believe.) Goes a bit slower than the coolrunning one. Now that I'm back to SG, I find that I'm needing to use the sledge on MWF and a broom on TTh. Like most women,...

(I assume running is how your PF came around, yes?) No. I got my PF from bad shoes & too much weight. I need to lose a gob. (I need to lose well over 50 lbs.) Though I think the bad shoes are the biggest culprit -- when I got better shoes, it helped tremendously. The weight is just slowing the heal...

so Jesslyn, how's it going? On Friday, I just returned to shovelglove after taking time off. Very bad case of plantar fasciitis. SG is going well! I haven't exercised much in the past couple of months so I'm noticing some places where SG seems to hit that I didn't notice earlier (when I started SG, ...

Also, Jules, thanks for posting! I would like to hear more about what drew you to shovelglove and what your impressions are so far. hi David, What drew me to shovelglove is that I really need to work on my core strength -- this was something that would obviously do it -- plus I liked the "usefulnes...

about that crowbar
I just starting shugging this week too. I have an 8 lb sledge. I've been lifting weights for months and this is hard. (And I'm not just one of those women who lifts 5 lbs each time.) If you haven't been doing any weight training, I think you might want to think about a 6 lb sledge. If you're going t...
