DonnaJean Wilde, a 59-year-old grandmother from Alberta, Canada, has made history by completing 1,575 pushups in 60 minutes, breaking the Guinness World Record for the most pushups in one hour by a female. This remarkable feat marks her second world record, following her earlier title for holding a plank for 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 11 seconds.
DonnaJean’s rigorous training for her plank record prepared her well for this new challenge. She developed a love for pushups after performing 500 a day during her plank preparation. Training at her family home in the scenic Rocky Mountain foothills, she drew inspiration from nature’s tranquility.
The record attempt took place at a senior’s home, where her 11 grandchildren cheered her on with handmade posters and encouragement. Starting strong with 620 pushups in the first 20 minutes, she maintained her pace despite facing a shoulder injury near the end.
