Fitness Motivation: 14 Photos of Sexy Women Flipping Tires

I’ve become fascinated by the so-called “fitness motivation” Internet trend. Basically, these are photos of hard-bodied men and women working out — usually accompanied by inspirational quotes — with the apparent goal of motivating you to get off your computer/smartphone and get to the gym. I’m sure you have at least one annoying crossfitter friend who posts this kind of crap to tell the world that OMG they’re training for life you guys. But honestly, fitness motivation photos are just another Internet fetish, like feet, or whispering. What is this photo inspiring you to do, exactly?

So earlier today, right before the Chael news broke and I was looking for something to do, I decided to search Pinterest and Google for fitness motivation photos, and see if I could spot any trends. The first one that stuck out is that healthy women love to flip tires. Tire-flipping is a metaphor, actually. If you can flip a tire, you can flip anything. So here are some photos I found of sexy women flipping tires, as promised. Check ’em out in the gallery after the jump, and stay tuned for more fitness motivation photo galleries, whether you like it or not.

I hope that “girls flipping tires” is an untapped Internet sub-fetish. I hope that thousands of people are searching for it daily. I hope…

The Ultimate CrossFit Fails Compilation Compilation

(If 1:58-2:15 doesn’t make you LOL, I don’t think we should be friends anymore. Props: Fail Army)

I’m no fitness expert, but it comes as no surprise that having under-educated instructors put total amateurs through insanely challenging movements at a frantic pace that will inevitably lead to serious injury is a bad idea.

So at the risk of offending CrossFit’s devoted legion of followers, we spent some time digging up the funniest and craziest “CrossFit fails” compilations on YouTube, featuring some folks who are definitely doing it wrong. To quote Kenny Powers: “I play real sports. Not trying to be the best at exercising.” Enjoy, and check out the rest after the jump…

[VIDEO] The Greatest Exercise Equipment Ad Ever, Starring Chael Sonnen (Of Course)


(Triangle defense sold separately.) 

We first caught a glimpse of the incredible human Whack-a-Mole style training device designed by Nexersys when Matt Serra took us on a tour of Chael Sonnen’s house in between trips to the deli to get some nice gabagool. Chael could not speak highly enough of the revolutionary piece of equipment, so much so that he recently decided to appear in an ad for the product. Sort of.

Basically, the “ad” is nothing more than the “Oregon Gangster” riffing on prison politics and how awesome he is for just under a minute. He not once mentions the product at hand, or even how it works, but that kind of frivolous information is best left for the puny-brained weaklings who think that a few push-ups a day will transform them into the next Ultimate Fighter. So goes the reasoning of Chael P. Sonnen.

So goes the reasoning of Chael P. Sonnen.

As you can tell, the Nexersys device is basically a high-tech version of the Bas Rutten Body Action System, proving once and for all that every genius idea to come along in the history of the sport stems from “El Guapo.” In a way, Rutten is kind of like the Kevin Bacon of MMA. And given Sonnen’s history of “borrowing” ideas from legends of their respective sports, it’s not exactly shocking to see him endorsing a product that was half-stolen from one of the greats. On the other hand, we do appreciate Sonnen’s “Cullman Liquidation” style approach to selling the product, which is undoubtedly the greatest marketing technique of the modern era.

So, Potato Nation, where does the Nexersys rank among such MMA-endorsed products as the Body by Jake or the JackRack?
