Hi folks,
well the sledge hammer (10lb) arrived at my door about twenty mins ago. Ripped it out of the packaging and just got my first session done.
I used the recommended Reinhard routine on the Shovelglove page.
I almost thought I'd picked too heavy a hammer, but when I got going it was just right. Hard enough to make my muscles twitch and get me in a sweat (first time I've exercised properly in years).
Got done in about 12 mins, so I added some butter churning to the routine.
Feel great! Finished it off with a nice cup of herbal tea. Off for a walk in a minute. Life is good
Jeff.
first session Haha!
Thanks David,
That's a cool avatar you've got. Make a good poster for us Shovelglovers
Finding myself impatient to do another session. Never felt like that about exercise before. Very strange. Must be the feeling that it's worthwhile exercise rather than pointless, even though I may never use a sledgehammer for real demolishing or pounding.
Now got me thinking whether to add music as many people have done. Maybe some 'metal banging' industrial might be neat

Welcome to the fold, Raindog!
I highly recommend having some music going - it really helps me to stay focused.
It seems like we've been getting an awful lot of new shuggers lately . . . if this keeps up Reinhard with have entire army of sledgehammer-wielding devotees at his command! haha!
