She was crowned ‘Fittest Woman in the World’ at the CrossFit Games in 2013 alongside Rich Froning.

But if anyone was in any doubt about her fitness credentials, then this video will put those doubts to bed.

It seems the trick (apart from being ridiculously strong) is splitting the reps up in intervals to avoid muscle burn-out.
