Kai can do it! Record hula hoop planking!
hoop? Yes, many are doing it at the moment. But hula hoop and planks at the same time? Kai Sandmeyer can do that and is also a record holder. And: He still has enough air to speak. “I’m Kai Sandmeyer and I currently hold the record for ‘longest duration hula hooping in abdominal plank position’. With six minutes and 34.” Kai shows his skills in his father-in-law’s warehouse. “Well, the most strenuous thing is actually always the plank, the forearm support, because I don’t really notice the hula hoop. I’ve been able to do that since childhood, so that’s really not the problem now. But the forearm support, like that Holding it for a long time is exhausting and I had to train for it properly.” On the Internet he had seen a video of the record holder at the time, who had clocked 3 minutes 16. Kai broke his best performance on June 5th last year. He had to wait weeks for confirmation. The IT process optimizer from Lentersheim near Ansbach is now in the Guinness Book of Records. The biggest effort for the world record was of a bureaucratic nature: Sandmeyer had to follow a 36-page set of rules. The record attempt had to be filmed from different perspectives, two witnesses and two timers had to be present. The whole thing should take place in a public place. In his case in the gymnasium of the school in the neighboring town. Maybe Kai will devote himself to another record attempt in the future: push-ups and hula hoops. However, the bureaucratic effort is still too great for him at the moment.
The young father from Franconia broke the record last year. Now he has shown again how it’s done.
