I really like chopping wood. Because it feels the most real to me I 
guess! But last night, when my arms got too tired, I started 
messing around with other 'freestyle' moves. One I do, is put the 
handled horizontally over my shoulders, and then bend at the waist 
to whatever side the hammer is on, and use my abs to contract it 
back up. You have to concentrate to not use your arms and just hold 
the thing for stability. But I can feel it in my sides a bit. I 
tried some squat moves too, and then I kneeled down (But kept my 
butt off my heels) and pretended I was rowing a canoe. I've no idea 
what muscles that'll hit, but it was fun!

There's just something about holding a sledgehammer that makes you 
feel buff. :) Even if you aren't!

I made it through 10 minutes last night, so I am getting better. I 
just gotta keep on doing it.

Thanks for all the support!
