Man sets planking record at 10 hours

Posted

DOWNERS GROVE, IL (WLS/CNN) - An Illinois man may have broken the world record for planking.

George Hood planked for 10 hours and 10 minutes Friday in Downers Grove, just outside of Chicago.

Planking is where you hold up your body using just your elbows and feet.

It develops core strength.

It needs to be verified, but Hood reportedly beat the old record by two hours.

Hood did it for a good cause.

He was raising money to help Chicago children who have been exposed to violence.
