Super Pump

Your heart is a Super Pump. Has it ever stopped since birth? If it has, you wouldn’t be reading this now, would you? (Doesn’t the heart begin pumping some time in the womb? Correct me on this). Say you’re 20 years old. Assume your heart is pumping at 65 beats per minute in average, justified by a higher pumping rate when you were younger or during physical activities and slower pumping rate while you were sleeping or resting. 20 years are 10,512,000 minutes - equivalent to 683 million strokes of pumping action!

I noticed this after playing a post office hour futsal game with Firdaus, Yassir, Fariz, Khairul, and Ikram at the Sportsplanet. Even after weeks of having minimum to zero heavy physical activities, I could still sprint, accelerate, stop, and turn at a considerable speed. Alhamdulillah, I am grateful for a healthy physique.
