You're going to do what with the who now?

I love this idea!

A daily, 14-minute, exercise program based solely on the motions derived from recklessly swinging a sweater-shrouded sledgehammer around in your own home.  (The sweater, ostensibly, to protect furniture, animals and small children from unwarranted blunt trauma.)

Shovelglove: Functional Sledgehammer exercise in 14 minutes time

Go ahead and click on the picture to embiggen it.  You'll note that there are a number of Star Wars toy ships in the background.

A sweater-clad sledgehammer being carelessly flung about by a guy in his home office while still wearing his pyjamas, surrounded by the geeky memorabilia of a reclusive and slightly obsessive youth, now inextricably inculcated into his persona.  Lose the glasses and goatee, shave the hair and that is totally ME!

I'm seriously thinking about getting something like this started for myself.

No... seriously!

I'd have to call it something different to prevent undue emasculation:

"The Thor's Hammer Sweat Regimen!"

"Steel Flingers Anonymous!"

"Post-Poundin' Performance!"

"OW!  My Back!"

This could really turn into something...

Where do you find this stuff? Hilarious. I think it's actually Kevin Federline. Only a man of leisure could come up with this.

I'm thinking, a whole marketing strategy, will need an engineer ;-) to design the thing (the sweater is just too bulky and common). Maybe an arena as opposed to one's living room, sell memberships to this Exer-Stress-Buster's mecca. Go for it Si! I've got the capital to back you 100% ;-)

ouch, indeed! I will never swing a sledgehammer again unless I have to. Last time I did, it was a boneheaded attempt to break up ice on our front porch. Managed to break the front porch pretty well, and much muscle soreness ensued.
