Ill. man seeks to reclaim continuous exercise record
NAPERVILLE, Ill. - Until last summer, 50-year-old George Hood of Aurora held the world record for continuous exercise by a human being — 111 hours, 11 minutes and 11 seconds on a stationary bicycle.
Then his record was broken by another cyclist from Tasmania.
Now Hood wants to be the record-holder again by cycling on a spin bike for more than 132 hours straight, and raising $50,000 for the YMCA’s Spin for Kids event.
If he is successful, this means that he will have been approached by a gym clerk exactly 264 times telling him that he’s been on the bike too long and other people want to use it. Which would also be a world record.
