This weekend I was somehow talked into turning a few square metres of sad bald dirt at the bottom of our garden into a perfectly flat rectangle of astroturf. I then discovered the raised bit is where the builders buried all their rubble 90 years ago, now bound with roots. And bought a pickaxe for the first time in my life.
Wow, what a total body workout. It made my quite glad I've been playing with a 24kg bell the last few weeks
- Loads of shovelling for the hammies and arms
- Ten bags of ballast and sand bags at 22kg
- Pickaxe swinging - really hits the anterior chain
- Hours in a squat position, because the ground was too knobbly to kneel
- Finish off with "linear and lateral warmups" and high-knee drills to flatten the sand
Anyone else wants to try, you're welcome to pop over to London and do a few more square metres. I might even give you a cert...
