We all have those childhood stories of some successful and some not so succesful attempts at performing stunts in and around the house. Be it somersaults, headstands or our very own made up stuff, as kids, most of us have gone through the thrill, excitement and uh..pain.. that comes with these antics. 

However, once in a while, some kids discover that they can do more than just the normal. Today, (if you don't already know) I'd like to introduce you to little Arat - an athletic toddler in Babol, Iran who already has 807k followers on Instagram! 

Arat is a cute little toddler, but mind you, don't be fooled by his size, the boy is capable of stunts even some professionals struggle with. To begin with, Arat can scale 10ft walls as easily as Spider man using just his hands and feet. Despite his little size, he is incredibly strong and lifts heavy weights to train. 6.5kg weights on his back and doing sit-ups holding weights is child's play, literally! 

Arat's father Mohamad noticed his son's natural talent for gymnastics when he at the tender age of one. According to a leading tabloid, Mohamad said, "One day when I returned home from work and put my finger in Arat's hand, he got up slowly and, gripping my finger very tightly, pulled his legs off the ground. At that time I noticed the strength and power Arat had and was very surprised."

Ever since the discovery, Arat has been training with his father, as for now, he is too young to join a gym. Videos on his Instagram page show him practising impressive moves such as rope climbing, back flips, balancing splits and backward walkovers with amazing agility.
