Did you know …
That the human heart is strong enough to lift a semi-truck? It’s true! Pumping all day is good exercise.
Obviously the heart has no limbs of its own, so it couldn’t really pick up a semi, but there’s a fun way you can test out your own heart’s strength. Go for a short, intense jog—you want to get your heartrate up and keep it there for ten to fifteen minutes—and then stand with your chest pressing firmly against a wall (be sure to pick a wall that you don’t mind damaging). The force of your heart beating against your chest should have been enough to put some fracture lines in the wall, even if it’s cement or brick. Stronger athletes are even able to crack marble this way.
Two warnings:
-Don’t choose a load-bearing wall.
-Don’t exercise for more than 20 minutes. The intensity of your heartbeats would probably break open your rib cage, which would probably kill you.
