Getting Sloshed

A slosh pipe or tube is a large PVC pipe filled partially with water and capped on the ends. I understand that working out with one of these is very effective and surprisingly difficult.

All that is needed is a PVC pipe from the local hardware store 2-3 meters long and 5-10 cm in diameter. The longer and wider the pipe the more difficult it is to use. A cap for both ends and water to it at least 1/2 full of water.

The sloshing part comes from the water moving around inside the pipe when you pick it up and hold it horizontally. This is what makes it so difficult to use. The slightest imbalance moves the water inside. Fighting both the weight of the tube and momentum, makes movement of the tube very taxing on the core.

Check out this guy, here is "only" trying to hold it stationary:


I am off to AL Thompson this weekend.
