I always look at this list when I think that I can’t do something:

Usain Bolt can run almost 30 mph.

Michael Phelps can swim almost 5 mph.

Aroldis Chapman can throw a 105 mph fastball.

Matt Prater kicked a 64 yard field goal in a NFL game.

Paul Anderson did a back lift of 6,270 pounds.

Guy Valentino did 5,862 pull ups in 24 hours.

Samuel Groth can serve a 163 mph tennis ball.

And for fun, Aaron Hibbs can hula-hoop for 75 hours (with one 5 minute break allowed each hour).

Sure, these people devoted themselves to their craft, but so can you. The human body is more capable than you think.
