Canadian grandmother breaks Guinness World Record for pushups

A grandmother from Canada has broken the Guinness World Records by earning her second title after completing 1,575 pushups.

The title for the most pushups in one hour (female) was taken by DonnaJean Wilde of Beazer Alberta. She managed to surpass the previous record with 17 minutes of her attempt remaining, reported UPI.

"I had to fight back the happy tears and emotions and keep going," Wilde told Guinness World Records.

She added: "I still felt quite strong and I was aiming for a high number of push ups to complete in the next 17 minutes."

Earlier, Wilde set the record for the longest time in an abdominal plant position (female) at 4 hours, 30 minutes and 11 seconds. According to her, training for that record prepared her to take on the pushup title.

It is also worth noting that Wilde's latest record attempt was attended by 11 of her 12 grandkids.
