Tire flips

[nerfg21]

Are these a good workout? I joined a gym that has some big tractor tires out back and I was thinking of trying to add them into a workout.

Don't ask - go do. Also give the hammer a go - as in hitting the tires with a hammer. Once you've done that go full bore. Tire flip, hammer the tire AND hopping into and out of the tire. A BRUTAL conditioning workout.

 

[stevesmi]

yeah it is a tough workout

 

[SteveMobsterG]

Add carrying the smaller ones to my routine

 

[muskate]

Yeah. It's a great form of cardio that really gets your heart rate up. It's also a lot more fun then traditional boring steady state cardio

Also look into battle rope swings.

 

[RoySimpson]

Yeah you can incorporate a bunch of good exercises into the tire.

I love adding in new and unique exercises like this. Go for it!
