I was looking around the other day a stumbled on a
copy of Covert Bailey's Ultimate fit or fat. One of
the main theme's he preaches about exercise is to do
something.The whole idea for him is to do some type of
physical activity - make it fun, be consistent, and do
as much as you can, within reason.I know that sounds a
bit vague, but if you want more detailed instructions
it would be best to pick up a copy at the library or
bookstore.Anyway it seems that shovelglove fits in as
something that's fun and you can do a lot. 
A couple of days ago I split some wood with a wedge
and sledge at my dad's house.Not much movement
variety but definitely a workout.I was wondering does
anyone else use their sledge for real?
