Today's workout involved flipping a tire. A big tire. A very big truck tire. A tire that weighs about 400 lbs. And I did it. There was a time about a month or so ago when I couldn't even lift it up a few inches. But, today I flipped it - not once, but 25 times!! Woo hoo!

Now, you may ask yourself, "Why would you ever want to flip a tire?" The answer: It's just another way of physical conditioning. It's a whole-body movement that really involves all the major muscle groups. It's a way better exercise than bicep curls or an elliptical machine.

This is a bigger tire than the one in the video below.

This morning's workout of the day:

5 rounds for time of:
50 double unders
5 tire flips
10 overhead squats

I substituted 100 regular jumps for the double unders.

Over head squats at 75lbs.

-----------------------------------------------------

Totals:
500 rope jumps
25 tire flips
50 overhead squats

Time:
19:10

Not the fastest of the group, but I'm trying not to hurt myself in the process.
