DonnaJean Wilde, at 59 years old, achieved a Guinness World Record by planking for 4.5 hours. Over the last decade, she built strength, juggling her responsibilities as a parent, teacher, and master's student. Starting during a planking craze with her children, she found creative ways to incorporate planking into her daily routine, including working on tasks while planking. A 2023 study highlighted the health benefits of planking, especially for older adults, emphasizing improvements in strength, endurance, and immune function. Wilde's journey showcases dedication to fitness and the practicality of core training.
I found that I could put my computer on the floor, answer emails, plan my school lessons, and really enjoy planking knowing it was making me stronger. It made me feel so good and my time was improving all throughout the years.
A strong core, which planking can contribute to, can also help us to stay mobile day to day and prevent injuries and aches like back pain.
