WASTE TYRE TALK-Looking for a fun and effective new piece of exercise equipment to burn fat and sculpt lean muscle?

Eric Roberts‘s insight:

This is a great way to use an old spare tyres.

I have seen ways of using old tyres . Including “how to keep fit” . Helping to “Get Rid of your Spare Tyre“. Especially in recent times. Reminding me of when I was a young tyre fitter in my twenties. Consequently, I worked for a company in Leeds called Kurt Neilds.

Then owned by Goodyear . Fitting Earthmover tyres for a living. The job was fantastic. We lifted and carried the giant tyres on Euclid Earthmovers and other giant plant hire vehicles, such as Cat Earth-movers like the Cat 631s and Terex dump trucks; we were fit as fiddles” and got paid for it as well.

I only weighed 11 stone and could eat what I wanted

Of course, it is no wonder that the use of tyres has been taken up by sportsmen and women to help them exercise. I was impressed at the way rugby union players played. Who can throw these big tyres about ! So now it looks like old tyres are being used for the exercises.

As described in this article from the WASTE TYRE TALK-Savannah Morning News. I am too old to take this up now but if anybody would like some old spare tyres to train with, you can have them for free here in Halifax.

Old waste tyres are now used for all sorts of things.

One of the main uses is to make them into rubber crumbs so that they can be made into safe flooring for, say, children’s play areas, These are replacing wood chippings that were once used and are much safer for the children to play on.

The waste tyre industry also supplies rubber pellets to cement-making companies to power their cement drying kilns. Also, large amounts of rubber pellets go into the making of tarmac for our roads to give a more cushioned ride and a harder-wearing surface when driven on.

I wanted to buy a 110-amp leisure battery

 Leisure Battery: When the phone rang for the hundredth time on Thursday, it was a call from a well-spoken gentleman with a well-educated Scottish accent. He wanted to buy a  leisure battery to go into his motorhome. He chose us from our battery web site, www.batteriesontheweb.co.uk, and also because we were from Halifax and we were not too far away, as prompt delivery was important.

He turned out to be head of the Devonshire Hall

Cumberland Road, part of Leeds University. The university had broken up for the Easter term and he found out that he had a dead battery and therefore required a new one.

I arranged to meet him outside the Devonshire halls at 8.30 am on the following morning with his new battery, as he said that he has a tight schedule. This is just an example of the personal service that we give to our online battery service.

While I was waiting,

I took a walk through the gate into the Devonshire halls outside area. I could not believe my eyes at the outstanding beauty of the building What a shame it is hidden away from the public, The students are so lucky to study in such outstanding architecture.

 Sent back old leisure  battery for re-cycling

The guy arrived a little late and he asked if I would drop the new leisure battery off at the back of the buildings into his garage, I obliged accordingly but when he opened his garage door, there was a second surprise: the guy owned a 1967 BMC 1100 car in white. He pulled out the car so that I could take a photo for my blog and gave me two old batteries for re-cycling, This was a great trip out for me (how sad).
