Canadian Grandma Holds a Plank for 5 Hours to Break Her Own Record
Wilde broke her own previous mark after holding the position for 5 hours, surpassing her 2024 record of 4 hours, 30 minutes and 11 seconds.
- At the Huntsman World Senior Games, 61-year-old DonnaJean Wilde set a new Guinness World Record for the longest female abdominal plank by holding the position for 5 hours.
- Wilde previously set the record in Magrath, Alberta, on March 21, 2024, when she held the position for 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 11 seconds before breaking that mark.
- Maintaining the position for 5 hours requires significant core endurance and sustained effort, as footage shows Wilde holding her elbows on the ground throughout the challenge.
- Wilde's age became a major talking point online, with one user noting, "Everything was normal until I realized she's 61," while a 22-year-old reflected on their own physical limitations.
- Despite form debates on Instagram, many found motivation, with one person writing, "Because of this woman I" am increasing their own plank time from 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds.
