Local Listowel woman attempts setting burpee distance record

Pushing ourselves to the limits is something that occurs more often then we like to admit. A local Listowel woman is aiming to push herself to the limit in terms of the fastest burpee mile.

Leona Ottens is attempting to establish the new record for the feat in an attempt today at Listowel’s Between the Lines Sports Campus.

There is previously no record established but Ottens estimates it will take 760 burpees combined with a long jump in order to achieve the challenge.

Ottens is a friend with New U fitness faculty owner Alison Brown who just recently set the record for most chest-to-ground burpees in an hour. She estimates her feat will take about 1 and a half hours.

We will check in with her to see how her attempt went today and update you here.
