Record Breaker

As a young man Paddy Doyle was a hell-raiser. He would pick fights and get in trouble with the law. But he channelled his destructive energy into becoming a winner. To date, Paddy Doyle holds 125 national, European and world fitness and martial arts records. Some of his records are: 1303 back-of-hands press ups in one hour; a 50 mile run wearing a 40 lb back back in 11 hours and 58 minutes and an incredible 5,000 sit ups with a 50 lb plate in five hours. This is the inspiring story of a man who is a true champion in both heart and mind, whose determination to succeed has taken him from the back-streets of Birmingham to the brilliance of a world champion.

Paddy Doyle's gone 110 rounds with 10 opponents to win the World Kumite Karate Boxing Championships. He's got the world record for the number of press-ups done in a year, he did over 1.5 million - that's over 4,000 a day!
