I love the image Kale suggests, but I'm a little nervous about how to implement it without clobbering my ceiling and/or wife (she usually does yoga/pilates in the same room)
Anyone else have any ideas/experience with this issue?

As a current klutz, I agree.
I'm not quite sure how to work balance into shovelglove, but your
"standing-on-the-rock-mid-stream-waiting-to-speer-the-fish" image
seems like a promising opening.

Reinhard,
I've been looking to get myself into functional-shape for a bit now. My new
roommate shovel gloves and after reading your website, I'm ready to go out
and buy a sledgehammer. Sounds more interesting than calisthenics, that's
for sure (and more useful). I used to rock climb, which kept me in shape,
but it isn't too friendly to my current career (classical guitarist). As a
former rock climber, I think that a good sense of balance is an
oft-neglected aspect of all-around physical fitness. As I've not
shovelgloved, it may have balance-benifits I am unaware of, but it doesn't
look like it from the videos. I think that for me personally, a little
"standing-on-the-rock-mid-stream-waiting-to-spear-the-fish" kind of exercise
would round things out and might be something you want to add to your
routine or perhaps just throw it on "other's exercises" section. Perhaps
some balance exercises might benefit from moving the shovel glove around as
well.
thanks for the great idea,
kale good
