snowball fight routine?

I am aching all over from a 30 minute snowball fight with my kids yesterday. Didn't do a lot of running, just bending over and throwing.

Trying to think how to incorporate this into my shovelglove routine... haven't been this sore in years!

Good for you on the fun family time !

I'm guessing that part of the "DOMS" (delayed onset muscle soreness, I believe,) is the ballistic nature of the movements involved in a snowball fight, as opposed to slow, deliberate movements that might characterize some SG routines.

IMHO, simulating the snowball fight might be achieved by some intense "shadow boxing" rounds mixed in or before your SG routine and/or on non SG days. (eg; have an "imaginary" snowball fight, and see how it goes.)

All the best,

Eddie

Hold the hammerhead with both hands, keeping handle hanging down vertically, over your left shoulder, keep your knees bent.
While holding it tightly pretend to throw it away in front of you as fast as you can, stop the motion before your arms are straight.

It's a bit like Fireman, but with your hands on the hammerhead or on the handle near the head.

After X reps change side

Harder if done with one hand only, but in order to avoid smashing things/animals/loved ones in front of you i'd suggest starting with both hands
