People exercise to stay healthy. One special kind of exercise is planking（平板支撑）. To plank,you rest your weight on your arms and toes and keep your body straight. Many people can plank for one minute. But 58-year-old Wilde set a plank record of 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 11 seconds.
Wilde has always been active. But about 10 years ago, she broke her wrist. She couldn't exercise the way that she used to. She started planking. “I realized I could read while planking, and I fell in love with it,” she said. At first, she had pain in her hands and arms, but she didn't stop. She even watched movies while planking. To prepare for the record, she practised up to six hours a day.
On the big day, Wilde planked at the high school. Her family and students came to cheer her on! Wilde said the first two hours went by quickly. The next two hours were harder. “The last hour was the hardest,” she said. In the final 30 minutes, she just focused on breathing and stayed calm. When she broke the record, everyone cheered. She planked about 10 minutes longer than the old record!
Wilde's advice: “Whatever you like, the better you get at it, the easier it becomes.” So keep working on your goals. One day, you may break a record too!
