How much exercise is too much? Apparently, in the case of two teenage girls from China, it’s over 1,000 squats. It’s quite surprising they lasted that long without passing out from the pain. But due to their competitive spirit, they went at it until they almost literally dropped dead, sort of.

“This is too embarrassing to say. I was chatting with [my friend] in Guandong over the Internet,” Xiao told China Press from the hospital. At some point, the two girls got into a squat contest to determine who had the most stamina. “We both did not want to lose and so we kept trying to beat each other,” she explained. Neither of them willing to back down and stop squatting first, they both ended up doing over 1,000 squats.
Though they didn’t feel anything adverse right away, however, it wasn’t long until they started feeling something wrong. When they went to the hospital, they found out that they both ended up with kidney damage.
