59-Year-old woman sets world record by doing 1,575 push-ups in 1 hour

In an incredible display of strength and determination, Donna Jean Wild, a 59-year-old woman from Alberta, Canada, set a new Guinness World Record by completing 1,575 push-ups in one hour. 

This remarkable achievement marked her second world record, as she surpassed the previous record for the most push-ups done in an hour in the women's category.

Wild, who has long been an advocate for physical fitness, accomplished this feat 17 minutes before her allotted time was up, further demonstrating her exceptional endurance and drive. 

During her attempt, Wild pushed through moments of overwhelming emotion and joy, which she described as happy tears.

Her dedication to fitness isn’t new, as Wild has previously set another world record for holding the abdominal plank position for 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 11 seconds, also in the women’s category.

This achievement serves as an inspiration to people of all ages, proving that age is no barrier to pushing the limits of what the human body can achieve. Wild’s new Guinness World Record further solidifies her status as a fitness icon.
