At-home Exercise: The Shovelglove

While I like the idea of body building, I don’t care about being able to dead lift 20 tonnes or squat an african elephant.. mostly because it really doesn’t have any real-world application.

On the other hand, I do like the idea of a “hard day’s work” workout.. unfortunately, that’s a little difficult to get in the city.

Enter the Shovelglove! A sledge hammer for shoveling / hammer workouts. 

To quote the site: 

Take a sledgehammer and wrap an old sweater around it. This is your “shovelglove.” Every week day morning, set a timer for 14 minutes. Use the shovelglove to perform shoveling, butter churning, and wood chopping motions until the timer goes off. Stop. Rest on weekends and holidays.

Hell yeah, I’m in! Guess I’m making a trip to Canadian Tire this weekend!
