Uzbek woman sets world record for most push-ups in one hour

Laura Hunt, a 53-year-old resident of Pittsburgh, USA, set a new world record for women by performing 1,826 push-ups in one hour. One.uz reports on this achievement.

This result was officially recorded by representatives of the Guinness Book of World Records. The feat was demonstrated at a special event held on November 8, 2025, significantly surpassing the previous high score.

In her daily life, Laura Hunt works as a personal trainer and a physical education teacher. Her success in sports is the result not only of physical preparation but also of strong willpower.

The athlete aimed to prove to the younger generation and her students that it is possible to reach high goals at any age. Previous results and comparison The previous record in this category was set in 2024 by 59-year-old Canadian Donna Jean Wilde.

At that time, Wilde performed 1,575 push-ups in one hour. Laura Hunt increased this figure by 251, cementing her name in history.

Such results indicate that endurance levels in women's sports are increasing year by year. It is worth noting that the absolute record for this exercise among men belongs to Romania's Laurensiu Pop.
