Dear MEL Topic Readers,
World planking record set by ex-marine, aged 62
Planking is one of the most effective bodyweight exercises. All you need to do is to maintain a position similar to a push-up as long as you can. Planking develops core muscles in a relatively short span of time but it doesn’t require any equipment and can be performed almost anywhere and anytime. There are some variations for planking, such as knee plank and side plank but the most common way to perform a plank forearm plank, which is slightly easier than holding your body up with just your hands. You may find it not-so-demanding to hold your position for a short time but how long do you think you hold the position?
There is an ex-marine who recently broke the world record at the age of 62. What helped him to sustain the position for over eight hours was a smartphone that showed him videos.
What sort of videos encouraged the physically old man to break the world record?
Enjoy reading the article and seeing the video to learn what encourages a human to outperform his own limitations.
