Everyday Systems

Now that I've been SG'ing for over a week I find that the breathing really does help me keep a good rythem going. Doesn't feel right if I'm not focusing on breathing now... I guess it just took a couple of days to get used to it. Thanks for the input.

This may have been covered somewhere else, but I haven't found it yet so I'll ask here. I noticed in Reinhards videos that he forcefully exhales when performing the moves. Is this a matter of preference, or is there a benefit to it that makes pronounced exhaling worth doing?

I was just goofing around after having finished my second day 14 minute SG, and found this move interesting. With an underhand grip near the top of the sledge and an overhand grip near the bottom of the handle, holding the sledge slightly to your side, lunge forward with the leg opposite to the side...

I just did 14 minutes for the first time along with push-ups afterward and actually enjoyed it. I think I'll be able to keep this up because of the simplicity, but also just because it is convienient and somewhat imaginative. Just wanted to mention I found shovelgloving from the healthhacks podcasts...
