Meet Canadian fitness guru, 59-year old DonnaJean Wilde. To her 12 grandkids she’s just Grandma...but to the rest of us she’s a planking and pushup beast!

Now DonnaJean is back in the news for setting a new Guinness Book of World Records mark for “Most Pushups In One Hour (female)”
The Muscley Memaw not only crushed the previous record, but she did it only 43 minutes in to the attempt! DonnaJean was in the zone, especially considering what she fought through to get the record.
She started the hour strong, completing 620 push ups in the first 20 minutes. She then alternated between 20 and five push ups per rep for the next 15 minutes, eventually surpassing the previous record and completing an average of about 10 push ups per rep until the time expired. Even when she felt her shoulder dislocate and pop back in near the end of the competition, she kept pushing to achieve the incredible total.
