Another Canadian has claimed the Guinness World Record for the longest time in an abdominal plank position (female)
DonnaJean Wilde held her plank for just over 10 minutes longer than the previous record that was set in 2019 by fellow Canadian Dana Glowacka.
At 58-years-old, the retired vice-principal and grandmother, planked for 4 hr 30 min 11 sec.
The proper plank technique needed to set the record requires the challenger’s forearms and toes to always be on the ground with the remainder of the body lifted off the ground and kept straight throughout.
She had her full support network with her when she made the record breaking attempt at the high school where she used to work, including her 12 grandchildren who came along to watch.
