Chinese Policeman Sets World Record With Amazing 8-Hour Plank

Wow! And I can't even plank for more than a minute! :D

Planking is fast becoming one of the top favorite exercises for fitness enthusiast. Besides, it is easy to perform, does not require any special equipment plus you can do it anytime, anywhere.

Well, sure, you can scratch the word “easy” since, during your first attempts, planking for even less than a minute can be quite agonizing. Believe me, I’ve tried it.

That’s why we can’t help but admire this police officer from China who just made it to the Guinness World Records for his exceptional planking skills.

Mao stayed in the planking position for 8 hours, 1 minute, and 1 second. Wood, on the other hand, collapsed after 7 hours, 4 minutes, and 5 seconds.
