Josef Salek holds the world record for the longest abdominal plank ever for 9 hours 38 minutes 47 seconds.
So, imagine staying in that position for longer than your working day!
Josef Šálek (Czech Republic also known as Czechia) pushed through the pain to establish a new world record for the longest time in an abdominal plank position (male) with a staggering 9 hr 38 min 47 sec.
The record was previously held by Daniel Scali (Australia) with a time of 9 hr 30 min 1 sec. Joska’s story is an inspirational one, with him completely overhauling his philosophy on life.
He was living what he described as a life of excess and bad health until a life-changing event made him rethink everything and go on to become the motivational coach that he is today.
He said: “Five years ago, I was 15 kilos (33 lb) overweight, I used to be fond of alcohol and cigarettes.
“But a certain life-changing moment brought me to this transformation, so the thing I want to give to the world is that no matter your age, you can just make changes to feel happier, more vital, and healthier.
“It is, in fact, the very message I wanted to spread by breaking the record.”
