I've been trying out a new move while doing the shovel-glove. I'm calling it 

chopping-down-tree. Sounds better than whacking-someone's-knees.

Basically, it's a slight alteration of the 'chopping wood' move. Rather than swinging 

overhead and down low, it's more of a sideways swing. It's sort of like swinging a 
bat 
at about knee level. Kind of like a swing with a croquet bat, but higher. So, I 
figure 
it's a bit like chopping down a tree.

I find that it's a bit easier on my back because I'm rotating it rather than using it 
to 
slow the shovel-glove. It seems that it exercises my abs quite a bit. Today, I can 
feel 
my stomach muscles aching, in a great way!

Did I describe the move adequately?
