62-Year-Old Shatters World Record By Planking For More Than 8 Hours
A former US Marine has set a new planking world record in the male category – “Longest Male Abdominal Plank”. George Hood achieved the feat in front of family and friends while a local high school band performed live music for the first five hours.
The 62-year-old lasted eight hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds to pass previous holder Chinese police officer Mao Weirdong by nearly 14 minutes.
Hood’s training also involved 674,000 sit-ups and 270,000 push-ups while he reportedly planked for 10 hours and 10 minutes back in 2018.After taking his place in the Guinness Book of World Records, Hood’s planking days may be over: he plans to focus on “other fitness endeavours.”
Last year, Canadian Dana Glowacka planked for four hours, 19 minutes and 55 seconds to break the record in the female category.
“I’m so grateful,” the yoga instructor wrote on social media following the feat.
“Truly, if you put the whole of you in what you believe, you gonna make it!”
There isn’t anything special in these feats of strength or flexibility; they are quite standard achievements to-for example-such Shaolin practitioners who have intensively enough specialized to master them

Baba Ramdev, accompanied by Chief Minister of Rajasthan Vasundhara Raje Scindia, Patanjali’s Acharya Balkrishna and more than 1.05 lakh participants, have set a new Guinness World Record on occasion of the International Yoga Day 2018 by becoming the largest group of people to practice yoga asanas together.
Since the past few years, International Yoga Day, celebrated on June 21, has seen an active participation from people all around the country.
ANI tweeted, “#Rajasthan: Around 1.05 lakh (still counting) people perform Yoga together in Kota to create a Guinness World Record on #InternationalYogaDay2018. Yoga guru Ramdev and Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia present.”
As per a report by Zee News, the Guinness World Record team travelled to Kota from London to witness the event. The city’s RAC ground was the venue where eight entrance gates were made for the entry and each individual being entered was given a barcode to count and keep the stat of the exact number of people entering the ground.
Though on record 1,50,000 people entered the ground through barcode, officials in the managing team claim that the number of individuals who performed was higher than this.
On International Yoga Day 2017, Patanjali had set several world records, which included longest Yoga Marathon running for 51 hours, the longest Sheershasan by three Patanjali Yog Peeth volunteers- Jaipal, Gopal Dangi and Mohan Shankar Rao Thakrey, etc.
