Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think it depends what inspires you. If tyre flipping inspires you to train because you picture yourself in a strong woman comp then it's great. Finding what keeps you motivated will make a big difference to staying consistent.

Flipping a tractor tyre is great training for front row forwards, if you fancy taking up rugby, Pix :D
And yes, they're damned heavy.

Pix - I thought of you this morning. Someone had fly tipped a lorry tyre on my run route!

I swear etiquette at my gym is getting worse. People are just walking away from machines and leaving them loaded with 20kg plates that I can barely lift (let alone being unsure if they’re in use). I never see anyone with towels and sanitising spray is non-existent. And I seem to spend more time roaming the gym looking for plates then actually working out-not helped by the addition of more machines.

I'd find that do irritating, Meglet. Glad Mr Ness and I have our home gym.

Also spotted a weights rack with 4 x 20kg plates on one side, near the top, and nothing on the other. Who’d load it like that? (I asked a nearby man to redistribute)

Yep. Another annoying thing. Who does that?! Mr Ness and I often end up sorting weight racks when we use hotel gyms because of that! 🙄

And in case you're wondering about that title, well, I like alliteration and one can be too po-faced about the use of girl/lady/woman.
