My first shovelglove attempt did not go well ...

Hi everyone, I'm not really new here but have been a lurker for quite some time.
Just thought you might enjoy hearing about my first attempt to do the "shovelglove" workout a couple of months ago.
At my husband's suggestion, I decided to combine it with killing part of a big ugly bush in our back yard, which was partially blocking our access to the garage.
So I got my shovelglove set up and started whacking away at that bush, up and down, up and down, for about five minutes, and everything was going great and I felt oh, so strong.
Then ... I heard this loud metallic CLANK - followed by a spray of cool water.
Nope - it wasn't a post-workout shower.
It was the pipes leading from the back yard to the house - which, unknown to either of us, were partially concealed directly underneath that big ugly bush.
A few thousand dollars later (OUCH!!!) we have a new set of copper pipes - and I now do my workouts wayyyy far away from the house!
