At 59 years old, Canadian grandmother DonnaJean Wilde has achieved an extraordinary athletic milestone by setting a Guinness World Record for the most push-ups completed by a woman in one hour. Wilde successfully completed an astonishing 1,575 push-ups within 60 minutes, surpassing the previous record and earning global recognition for her incredible strength and endurance.
The record was officially verified by Guinness World Records, which confirmed Wilde’s performance complied with strict guidelines requiring each push-up to reach a 90-degree elbow bend and full arm extension. During the attempt, Wilde’s 11 of her 12 grandchildren joined her, cheering her on and helping keep count as she powered through the challenging hour.
Wilde’s latest achievement follows her earlier triumph in March 2024, when she broke the world record for the longest time holding an abdominal plank by a woman with a remarkable time of 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 11 seconds, a record that showcased her dedication to strength and fitness.
Her dual world records in both endurance and strength highlight not only her personal discipline but also serve as an inspiration to people of all ages, proving that age is no barrier to setting new limits and achieving extraordinary physical feats.
