A 59-year-old Canadian grandmother, DonnaJean Wilde, has earned her second Guinness World Records title after completing an astonishing 1,575 pushups in just one hour.

Wilde broke the record for the most pushups in one hour (female), surpassing the previous mark with 17 minutes still left on the clock.

This isn’t her first record-breaking feat. She previously held the title for the longest time in an abdominal plank position (female), holding steady for an incredible 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 11 seconds. Wilde credits her plank training for preparing her to take on the pushup challenge.

Her latest accomplishment was witnessed by 11 of her 12 grandchildren, making the moment even more special.
