There’s a new world record for the longest plank ever held by a woman \u2013 and it was broken by a grandmother in Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guinness World Records announced late last month that 58-year-old DonnaJean Wilde, a mother of five and grandmother of 12 in Canada, broke the women’s world record for the longest time in an abdominal plank position after holding it for 4 hours, 30 minutes and 11 seconds \u2013 10 minutes longer than the previous record established in 2019. She spent that entire duration with her forearms and toes touching the ground and her body remaining lifted and straight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wilde, who is now retired, completed the event at the high school where she previously served as vice principal. She told Guinness that the first two hours were relatively quick, but by the end, there was a bit of a struggle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
