It’s #FitnessFriday - who’s ready to get to work!? This week we bring out one of my favorite toys … the giant tire. I love using unique equipment that offers several workout variations and keeps exercise interesting. Not ONLY do tire workouts effectively challenge you, bringing out the badass warrior that you are, they are the perfect way to work on both physique AND cardio. Does it get any better than that?? Head to stories for 4 tire based exercises that will give you a full body workout. P.S. We found these tires in an old junkyard, so no excuses ;)

She told Entertainment Tonight: "He got me in the best shape of my life. These guys worked me so hard. I never worked so hard in my whole life for this little character in this movie. I've never been in the best shape of my life mentally, physically, and it's all because I got to work with some of the best of the best. So there are wonderful benefits of that."

Halle previously confessed she feels like 2019 will be a "defining year" for her.

She said: "I'm directing my first film this year. So when I said it was beast mode last time I saw you, I meant that. This is, I think, going to be a really defining time in my life for me to step into another light, into another area that I'm completely passionate about and I'm so ready for."

Her personal trainer Peter Lee Thomas shared: "She pretty much had a checklist of things she wanted as far as her physique is concerned and we had a bulletproof battle plan ... You better believe we are doing some boxing, some kick boxing, some Muay Thai ... I'm definitely working on those skill sets with her and she's also doing strength and conditioning.

"She's using kettle bells, bar bells, dumbbells, working on the pull up bar, doing dips, sprinting pushing heavy things, pulling stuff. It's just a really dynamic way to jumpstart anyone's metabolism. I have never met anybody that works harder and trains harder and is just so resilient. She is getting faster, stronger and becoming more athletic. I've never met another person who can do it like her."
