Found this via lifehacker (though my soon-to-be brother-in-law had told me about it months ago and I forgot) and decided to give it a twirl.
I've been doing daily crunches, push-ups, and curls and such for several months now to great success - only to be completely bored and turned off by the routine. I was also concerned about not being able to work out my entire body in the limited time I had in the morning.
Shovelglove appealed to me because it seemed to hit my entire upper body (I bike to work so my legs seem pretty set) as well as promote coordination. It also seemed like a lot of fun, cheap(er than a gym membership), and the author was funny.
Today is my 3rd day doing this and I am definitely feeling it. I thought it'd be a bit of a breeze having curled much heavier weights but definitely not! I'm loving it and can easily see myself turning this into a life-long habit.
I even got my fiancee doing it! We can make fun of each other on equal footing now
