A Canadian grandmother completed 1,575 pushups in one hour, earning her second Guinness World Records title.

DonnaJean Wilde, 59, of Beazer, Alberta, took on the title for the most pushups in one hour (female) and managed to surpass the previous record with 17 minutes of her attempt remaining.

"I had to fight back the happy tears and emotions and keep going," Wilde told Guinness World Records. "I still felt quite strong and I was aiming for a high number of push ups to complete in the next 17 minutes."

Wilde previously set the record for the longest time in an abdominal plank position (female) at 4 hours, 30 minutes and 11 seconds. She said training for that record prepared her to take on the pushup title.

Wilde's latest record attempt was attended by 11 of her 12 grandkids.

Not that many but I can definitely beat her in an eating contest and would drink her under the table which are far more prestigious accomplishments than pushups.

And here I thought doing 200 was some sort of badass accomplishment of mine

Thanks a lot, Maw Maw

As long as her kegels routine is as stringent as the push-up, see a good time

I could do a lot more pushups back when I was 40 pounds lighter even though I was weaker.

I think that planking time might be more impressive than the pushups.

i know this is the OT…..

but i once did 417 in a 6 hour period for a health competition @ work. 2nd place did 402. Both of us are in great shape and work out frequently.

and the next day my entire upper body was shot to shite. So anyone saying they could hang out 250+ in an hour, suspect. Maybe try it first.
