Welcome to "Less Is More" Gym...

Take a sledgehammer and wrap an old sweater around it. This is your "shovelglove." Every week day morning, set a timer for 14 minutes. Use the shovelglove to perform shoveling, butter churning, and wood chopping motions until the timer goes off. Stop. Rest on weekends and holidays. Baffled? Intrigued? Charmed? Discuss here.

Welcome to "Less Is More" Gym...

Where simplicity meets fun.

This is my minimalistic equipment.

- Cheap
- $0 membership.
- Can get it in pajamas
- Open 24/7
- Fun and varied, with the added benefits of bodyweight exercises
- In constant evolution (adding more minimalist tools over the time)

Everything from above, in a FUN package of 14 minutes with lots of sweat and sustainability.


----

Tools of choice:
- 16 pounder shov. (bought at a local hardware store)
- 24 lbs kbell (bought from my brother's gym)
- 40 lbs kbell (a birthday gift from my brother)
- A free, huge road and streets around my house for walking.

As I said, I'll keep updating with pics as I incorporate more simple tools.

Btw, 5 years ago I posted here that SG was the exercise I've stuck for the longest time. It's nice to know that almost 7 years have passed since my first SG workout (it was a 8 pounder then) and I still swing it. Long life to the hammer!

Simplicity is the key to sustainability and consistency.

Nice! Of all non-shovelglove gear, I think I find kettlebells the most appealing (although I've never actually used them, except to heft a little in the store).
