This morning I got on the rebounder for 11 minutes. 45 second intervals of jumping interspersed with jog bouncing.

Then I did 14 minutes of shugging. Almost two complete sets of 10 each (for some of them, it was 10 each side -- like shovel to the left, then shovel to the right) of the following exercises -- shoveling, stoke the fire, churn the butter, tucking hay bales, flip the lever, ab killer, paddling the canoe, hoisting the sack, chopping the tree & the fireman. This time, I respected the timer.

When I woke up this morning, my temp was at 97 (it's usually around 97.2), but after the rebounder and shugging (and about 25 minutes rest/recovery), it was up to 98.2. This is a good thing.

So yesterday I also did 3 X 10 ledge pushups. And I got on the rebounder for an 11 minute session in the afternoon -- intervals, one minute jog bouncing, 30 seconds intense jumping, 30 seconds gentler bouncing. Lather, rinse, repeat for the 11 minutes.

This morning I got up. Got on the rebounder for 11 minutes. Did 14 minutes of KB workout.

3 X 15 sumo deadlift ~ 35#
3 X 7 KB swings ~ 35#
2 X 15 KB swings ~ 20#
2 X 5 one arm swings ~ 20#
2 X 10 bent arm pullovers ~ 10#
2 X 10 alternating presses ~ 10#
1 X 10 two hand push presses ~ 20#

I'd just cleaned the 20# KB to do some squats, but the timer went off...and I respect the timer.

Odhinn apparently had a death wish this morning. I was doing the swings with the 35# KB when he decided that it was an 18-inch elastic moment and started trying to wind himself around my ankles. NOT a good idea when mama is swinging a 35# hunk of iron with a handle. I somehow managed to avoid killing him and injuring myself. I paused the timer for a minute and had a coniption. A few minutes later when I lay down on the rebounder to do the pullovers, Odhinn managed to put himself in a position where he got clocked by the 10# KB. Luckily he's got a really hard skull and I was in full control of the KB, so it didn't hit him hard. Oy.

Yesterday was rest day.

This morning I got on the rebounder for 12 minutes. Interval jog bouncing and jumping -- 1 minute jogging/30 seconds jumping/30 seconds bouncing for 6 minutes total, then 1/45/15 for another 4 minutes, then 1/1 for 2 minutes. Wow.

Then I shugged for 14 minutes, using a 12lb hammer for one set and an 8lb hammer for the second set (10 per set).

shoveling, churning the butter, tucking bales, picking the onions, hoisting the sack, stoking the fire, paddling the canoe, chopping the tree, flipping the lever (2 sets ~ 8 lbs), the fireman, ab killer

My temp went from 97 basal this morning to 97.8 about 30 minutes after my workout.

I love shovelglove. That is all.

I did 2 sets of 10 ledge pushups at work today. When I got home I did 30 minutes of the Slim & Fit dvd with Leslie Sansone and the Walkblaster.

Now I'm done for the day.
