The retired elementary school teacher broke the previous Guinness World Record by more than 10 minutes.
If you’ve ever tried to hold an abdominal plank during a workout, you know how challenging it can be even for just a few seconds. For many people, doing a plank — which is when you support your body weight with just your arms and toes — for a minute or so is a legitimate fitness goal.
The 58-year-old retired teacher and assistant principal from Alberta, Canada, is a grandmother who has proven to have the strength of people half her age. Her new record surpassed the previous one set in 2019 by fellow Canadian Dana Glowacka, who planked for 4 hours, 19 minutes and 55 seconds in 2019.“My elbows hurt pretty bad,” she told Guinness representatives shortly afterward.
Wilde’s love for planking began after she broke her arm and started doing holding the pose to help keep up her fitness while she recovered. Wilde had lots of moral support during her world record attempt, including students from Magrath Elementary School where she worked before retiring.
