Note: Volume on. Because everyone exercises differently (I work out vicariously through the people running at the park while I lie in the grass playing a Candy Crush knockoff and sipping cocktails out of an insulated tumbler), this is a video of a man in China’s Sichuan province performing what
This is a video from a Mr Mikes SteakhouseCasual (also great for steak-eating records) in Ontario, Canada of Abbetjes Meindert de Boer’s world record Jenga tower — a total of 3,132 blocks supposed by a single vertical block at the bottom. That bottom block must be feeling so much pressure!
This is a video of heavy breather Sergey Tsyrulnikov setting the Guinness World Record for most hot water bottles burst in 1 minute via overinflating with breath, with a respectable nine. Of course that’s all the water bottles there were on the table, so thank goodness he didn’t finish them
This is a video from Great Big Story highlighting the life of world record setting speedrunner Bubzia, who speedruns video games while blindfolded. His biggest achievement to date?

These are two videos of a member of kendama (the traditional Japanese wooden toy) performance group Densho DEN-SHOW successfully cupping the balls of 40 toys simultaneously. I have also included a video of him previously doing 30. So do you think when he’s practicing for the next big feat he
Further proof there’s nothing you can’t build with LEGO, this is a video of Youtuber Banana Gear Studios constructing and demonstrating a small omnidirectional treadmill. It’s crazy the way the pieces just seem to float around the rotating spindle floor. How people come up with stuff like this is beyond
