A group of climbers who went to Nepal to participate in a 6,000-meter-high fitness class has broken a world record.
Tim Megginson of Body Shape Fitness in the UK ran for 30 minutes while performing push-ups and planks on Mera Peak in Nepal to beat the Guinness World Record of 5,714 meters. According to a Facebook post, the group reached this milestone on October 9 by participating in a session at an elevation of 6,036 meters after nine days of ascent.
