Go to your local dump or whatever and get a small, worn out car tire 
(I'm manly, so I use a larger truck tire). Recycle it into a stress 
reduction apparatus. Beat the living @#*$ out if it with your hammer. 
Stand it on edge and beat the @#*$ out of it with a 4 pound setting 
sledge (one handed), say 100 times with each arm.

I have a large, private yard so I can do this next exercise. You 
might want to pass. I squat way down, on my toes (getting on your 
toes really reduces the stress on your knees for some reason), grab 
the near edge the tire, and stand while flipping it over/throwing it. 
50 of those will really get your heart pumping. Then the 
shovelgloving keeps your heart rate up... starting with the squats 
really intensifies the exercise. Not to mention that you can then 
walk uphill all day without feeling a thing.
