Furman that there was no limit to peoples physical abilities.Then in 1978，with no training he took part in a 24-hour bicycle marathon held in New York and got the third prize,which gave him great encouragement and inspiration.Later he got his first Guinness record with 27,000 jumping jacks in 1979.In the past 40years,he has successfully set more than 300 Guinness records,making him really the
