You don't actually hit anything... but it uses a ton of muscles (even a light sledgehammer - mine is only 6 pounds). But even better, some of the movements feel very natural and primal (and yes, I'm a female!). It's actually pretty relaxing, as long as you don't overdo it and hurt yourself!

Not weird at all. I love doing this sort of stuff. One of the machines at my work used to wobble off its blocks and I'd have to bang it back into place with a big mallet every so often. Used to be the best part of my day. Until they bolted it down properly  Ah well. It kind of was a safety hazard...
