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.
