Using a large tire in your workout is an excellent way to build power, endurance, and functional strength. Tire exercises are highly dynamic, engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously while improving coordination and cardiovascular fitness. Whether you’re flipping, dragging, or slamming the tire, these movements offer a full-body challenge.

Tire Flips

One of the most iconic tire exercises, tire flips target the legs, back, core, and arms. Begin by squatting low and gripping the bottom of the tire. Engage your legs and back as you lift and push the tire forward. This explosive movement builds strength and power, especially in the posterior chain.

Tire Drags

Attach a rope or harness to the tire and drag it across a flat surface. This exercise is excellent for building lower-body strength and endurance, particularly in the quads, glutes, and hamstrings. For an upper-body variation, drag the tire backward while pulling it hand-over-hand.

Tire Slams

Tire slams are a powerful cardio and strength exercise. Using a sledgehammer, strike the tire repeatedly, alternating sides. This movement builds explosive power in the shoulders, arms, and core while providing an intense cardiovascular workout.

Box Jumps on a Tire

Use the flat surface of the tire for box jumps. This plyometric exercise enhances leg power, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness. Land softly and step down to avoid strain on the knees.

Push-ups on a Tire

Place your hands on the edge of the tire and perform push-ups. The elevated position challenges your balance and engages stabilizing muscles, while still focusing on the chest, shoulders, and triceps.

Tire exercises are versatile, allowing you to combine strength, power, and endurance training into a single workout. They’re ideal for athletes, functional fitness enthusiasts, or anyone looking to add variety and intensity to their routine.
