DonnaJean Wilde, a retired teacher from Alberta, held a plank for five full hours at the Huntsman World Senior Games in Utah — beating her own 2024 world record by half an hour. She took up planking about 15 years ago because it was the one exercise she could do with her arm in a cast. A minute and a half was her limit back then.
