I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it.
If you're not on your 'A' game in our workouts every day, you're going to get absolutely smoked.
So many people along the way,whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But it all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there no limits,
