DonnaJean Wilde, 59, of Alberta, completed 1,575 pushups in an hour, earning her second Guinness World Records title.
Wilde accepted the challenge of doing the most pushups in an hour (female) and broke the previous record with 17 minutes remaining.
“I had to fight back the happy tears and emotions and keep going; I still felt strong and wanted to complete a high number of push-ups in the next 17 minutes,” she explained.
Wilde previously held the record for the longest time in an abdominal plank position (female): 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 11 seconds. She stated that training for the record prepared her to compete for the pushup title.
Wilde’s latest record attempt was attended by 11 of her 12 grandchildren.
