A 9-year-old super-athlete has just crushed a Navy SEAL-designed extreme obstacle course created to test the limits of the fittest adults.
Milla Star Bizzoto, 9, completed the BattleFrog 24hour Xtreme race, tackling a 5-mile course with 25 obstacles and a 30-mile swim.
The military-standard course included barbed wire, lifting huge weights and struggling through mud.
The only person under 18 to participate, Milla completed the course with her dad, Christian, after months training three hours a day, five times a week.
Christian said, “She literally murdered it. I was so convinced the race was going to crush her. I wanted to prove to her that it’s tougher than she thought.”
“But when we finished it, all she wanted to do was another lap.”
Milla’s incredible fitness journey began as a way to stand up to bullies and now she hopes that by taking on unbelievable physical challenges she can inspire what she calls “the iPad generation”.
“I don’t want to play video games. I don’t want to do things to make life easier. I want to be comfortable being uncomfortable. I have one body and it’s all I want and all I love,” said the 9-year-old.
“I don’t get bullied anymore. I know how to stand up for myself now. And I love what I do. I want to do it forever.”
Milla’s a self-made social media star with nearly 20,000 followers on Instagram and makes videos showing her insane workouts, like this:
And this amazing kid hopes to take her mission to inspire youngsters to get active and eat well global as she keeps training for more and more extreme events.
