A fitness fanatic decided to work out his stomach muscles by dangling 1,000 feet above Brazilian beach by his feet.

Spectacular pictures show Luis Fernando Candela hanging by his feet and using his abs to hold himself 1,000 feet above a beach at Pedra do Telegrafo, Brazil.

Candela was photographed by his terrified girlfriend performing what he described as his ‘most dangerous’ stunt yet, as Daily Mail reports.
