I just started Shovelglove this week. I did my first proper session today, after doing it on Saturday as a trial run.
Today, my routine consisted of:
Shoveling 3 x 21 reps
Churning butter 3x21 reps
Curl Swings 2x7 reps
Drive Fence Post 2x14 reps
Hoist Sack 2x14 reps
Tuck Bales 2x14 reps
Chop Tree 2x14 reps
I didn't have an old sweater to use, and I wanted it to be a bit neater, so I cut up an old towel into strips (after using first an old Fitness First towel, the joyous irony) and tied them tightly around the head and then finished off with a Union Flag (the British kind) to make it look tidier.
I've posted a few pics:

After adding some strips of another old towel:

Bound up (untidily) with string:

The final product. Very patriotic!

I don't like the varnish on the handle, so I'm planning to give it a good rub down and oil it with Danish oil.
Loving the burn of these exercises.
