At my gym, on the patio, are 2 huge tractor tires. As kind of a rite of passage, the "big boys" like to go out and flip it to prove how strong they are (and impress the girls 😉 ). Since I am one of the stronger females that Superman trains, last year we attempted tire flips on numerous occasions. I needed help from him, but I did it.
This year, we intended to try it again as soon as the weather was warm enough, but before we could try, I developed severe tendinitis in my left elbow. It took 4 months, including a month of physical therapy, to get back to 100%. Just last weekend I texted him and told him I thought it would be safe to try some of the things we have avoided.
So Tuesday was leg and self defense day. He fried my legs with squats, lunges, adductor/abductor, etc then we went out on the patio for some punching and kicking. Then he decided we could try the tire. The first attempt was a true struggle, but he talked me through it, and I'm pretty sure he helped me a little. The second time, I got part way up, and dropped it. The third time, I struggled, I fought...and I did it!!!
On Monday I want to try again.
