Former Marine sets world record by planking for more than EIGHT HOURS (VID)

Most of us can do a plank. Some of us can do it for more than a minute. But this former Marine has taken it to the extreme; a world record extreme.

It took over 8 hours, but former Marine George Hood reclaimed the male Guinness World Record for longest time spent in the plank position.

Hood, who is 62 year old, first set the Guinness World Record in 2011 with a time of 1 hour, 20 minutes and 25 seconds, according to a release. His new time – 8 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds – beat Mao Weidong's 2016 Guinness record.

Soon after setting the record, Hood celebrated by doing 75 push-ups.
