Summary
A 61-year-old Canadian woman, DonnaJean Wilde, set a new world record for the longest female abdominal plank, holding the position for five hours at the Huntsman World Senior Games in Utah on Oct. 4. This broke her previous record by nearly 30 minutes. The event was verified by judges, and the feat is now pending official approval from Guinness World Records. Wilde first began planking years ago after breaking her wrist, and she has since made it a daily routine. She has 12 grandchildren and shared advice for others attempting long planks.
