Soccer Player Proves His Dedication By Pulling a Jeep

Pulling a Jeep works as athletic training, right?

OK, this one is a little odd, and probably needs some explanation up front.

The guy in the video is Patrice Evra, a European soccer player who doubles as a bit of a social media star. He's always posting funny Instagram videos, but this latest one comes days after he was banned until June and released by his French team for attempting to kick a fan in the head.

Not cool in the least, but he decided he wanted to convince everyone he's not giving up, staying positive, and certainly maintaining his physical fitness.

Alrighty then...

The fact that a Jeep Wrangler can be used as workout equipment just adds to the versatility of the off-road machine, even if it is a little out-of-the-box. Wonder if that's Evra's Jeep, or if they borrowed it for the shoot? Nice choice either way.

And in case you're wondering, the newer model Jeeps weigh in at 3,800 pounds, even on the low end. That's no walk in the park, as they say.
