New Member - New Movement

I'm on day three and so far, I've really enjoyed my new exercise routine. Since I'm new at this, I'm still trying to remember all the movements as I complete my workout. Since I couldn't think of all of them, I made one up which I've decided to call "The Gondolier". I was trying to use a motion similar to standing up and paddling a canoe. (Not a recommended pass-time.) I stand with my feet about shoulder width apart and pole/paddle with the hammer. After 25 reps per side, I'm certain that my summer trips to the Boundry Waters Canoe Area will never be the same again.

Nice... we've had a few canoe paddling moves proposed, but the gondolier image is better because unlike canoes or rowboats or kayaks, gondolas are paddled standing up.

I don't suppose there's any chance I could persuade you to youtube it at some point?

Well.... I don't have a video camera. But if I'll see what I can do. It's not likely in the near future, as I'm just beginning my fitness regimen. I'm not sure that I can bear to watch myself until I'm feeling more fit. Maybe others might jump in and shoot the video.

I'm pleased that you liked the idea and am enjoying your site. My arms and chest are pleasantly sore.

Thanks,

David

Welcome to the forum! Canoe motions are some of my favorites - google around a bit for info on pry- and draw strokes.
