Dane sets new plank record

An abdominal plank is a core-strengthening exercise that involves supporting the body’s full weight on the forearms, elbows, and toes. The exercise greatly strains the abdominals, shoulders, arms, and glutes. Even some professional athletes struggle to hold the position for more than a few minutes.

Hoel spent nine months training for this latest record attempt.

“I’ve had no alcohol the last four months, have eaten healthy foods, and focused a lot on getting enough sleep,” Hoel told the Local.
