59-year-old woman sets world record by doing 1,575 push ups in an hour
Ottawa: In a remarkable achievement, a 59-year-old woman DonnaJean Wilde has set a world record by completing 1,575 push-ups in just one hour. The Canadian grandmother has now been officially recognised by the Guinness World Records for her extraordinary achievement.
This latest accomplishment follows her March title for holding the longest abdominal plank position for a female, where she maintained the challenging posture for an impressive 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 11 seconds.
DonnaJean stated that she spent hours working out at her family’s home in Beazer, Alberta in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and let the quiet strength of nature inspire her performance. According to GWR’s official website, she surpassed the previous push up record title with 17 minutes left on the clock.
"The push ups had to be performed to a certain standard, requiring a 90 degree elbow flexion at the bottom of the push up, with full extension of the arm when pushing up. Independent witnesses displayed her current total on a scoreboard, and as DonnaJean took intermittent breathers, she kept the number of push ups in her line of sight," read the official statement from the Guinness World Records. “She started the hour strong, completing 620 push ups in the first 20 minutes. She then alternated between 20 and five push ups per rep for the next 15 minutes, eventually surpassing the previous record and completing an average of about 10 push ups per rep until the time expired,” it added.
“I had to fight back the happy tears and emotions and keep going,” said DonnaJean. Her eleven grandkids cheered her on when she took the attempt.
Push-ups are a key exercise for building and maintaining upper body strength, targeting muscle groups like the chest, shoulders, and triceps. This exercise also helps improve cardiovascular health by boosting heart rate and circulation, making it an excellent exercise.

Yati Narsinghanand calls on Hindus to read Hanuman Chalisa at Muslim confrenece
Ghaziabad (UP), Nov 22: Dasna temple priest Yati Narsinghanand on Friday urged the "Hindu community" to recite Hanuman Chalisa at a Muslim community gathering slated to take place in Delhi.
In a video message, the controversial leader implicated in several cases said the Hindu society must not repeat the "mistake" of the Shaheen Bagh movement and come together against the "Islamic Jihadists."
A Muslim conference has been called by cleric Tauqeer Raza on the issue of the Waqf Amendment Bill at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on Sunday.
"If even now we do not oppose the Jihadis, then like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iran, Arab, we will lose everything and be finished off from India too," Yati Narsinghanand said.
Ghaziabad Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Mishra said since the matter pertained to Delhi, he would have no objection permitting Yati and his disciples to cross the border, if they are allowed in by the the national capital authorities.
