A video posted on Instagram by Guinness World Records on May 11, shows a 75-year-old man, Tony Helou, creating a record by becoming the oldest person in the world to perform a headstand.
The video shot by the Guinness team shows him executing a perfect headstand and holding his position well.
"Tony" Helou is from Deux-Montagnes, Quebec, Canada.
That’s because the 75-year-old is officially the oldest person to perform a headstand (male).
Guiness said Tony, who achieved the record title on 16 October 2021 at 75 years and 33 days old, was inspired to attempt the feat for his family, but also wanted to prove that it’s possible to achieve great things at any age.
Having always been physically fit, Tony would often walk on his hands for fun as a young man.
At age 55, he began training and working towards becoming healthier by running every day, doing pushups and performing headstands up against a wall.
