Abs-olutely terrifying! Fitness fanatic works out his stomach muscles by dangling 10,000 FEET above Brazilian beach by his feet
- December 15th, 2015
This daredevil fitness
fanatic showed no fear as he worked out his stomach muscles - by
dangling upside down over a 10,000ft drop.
Spectacular pictures show
Luis Fernando Candela hanging by his feet and using his abs to hold
himself in position high above a beach at Pedra do Telegrafo, Brazil.
Candela, from Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, was photographed by his terrified girlfriend performing
what he described as his 'most dangerous' stunt yet.


The pictures show Candela hanging from a cliff face with spectacular views of the Pedra Branca national park in the background.
He used his incredible strength to stay still as he dangled over the edge of the rock on November 21.
He said: 'This is by far
the most dangerous stunt I've tried. The only thing that was keeping me
up was my strength - all the weights I've tried in the gym were building
up to this moment.



'My girlfriend was terrified but I was determined to get the photo.'
Candela trained for years building up for this stunt and admits that it's not for the faint-hearted.
He said: 'I'd recommend it
to anyone, it's an amazing sense of achievement. You've got to know
what you're doing though because if you fall you've had it - the drop is
too much.
'I've been doing it for
years now and love it- you only get one life so you have to live it,
there's no fun in being boring. The experience was amazing - terrifying,
but amazing.'
