Dragging a Tire down the street. Is that a thing?

Post Reply New Topic

While driving home early this morning I saw a tall attractive young lady walking down the street near my apt. So I gave her a second glance, and noticed that in addition to having nice bare legs she also was wearing an odd athletic get up. Black thing around her thorax that looked like a light back brace- but attached to...and this was the odd part- a car's tire. Black chords attached her outfit to this car tire sans the inner tube, as she dragged it across the sidewalk behind her down the street. Like it was an exercise regimen.

Jog, or walk, while dragging a tire on the sidewalk? Not that it doesnt actually kinda makes sense. Like aerobic dancing with "heavy hands" (those weights they used to advertise on TV). The added drag created by the tire might well add to what you get out of walking.

So is that some new thing? Dragging tires behind you while you walk as the new fitness craze?

Apparently it's a thing. First I'd heard of it:

Yeah. She looked like that. Same outfit and harness. But it was just a tiny little tire (like off of a Prius). Not a ginormous truck tire like that. The girl I saw maintained an upright good posture. Didn't have to make like she was the Volga boatman, and lean forward, like the girl in the vid.But yeah. That's apparently the idea.

Think I've seen this as an event on "World's Strongest Man," only with the tires filled with sand.
