Stonecrest seniors attempt fitness world record

Welcome back. 923 is your time. If you've been watching Good Day Atlanta this morning, you know a world record attempt has been happening in Stonecrest. Deshaun Johnson, known as the guru of abs, is at the Samson Health and Fitness Center in Stonecrest, hoping to set a new Guinness World Record for the world's largest senior care lesson. Good Day Atlanta's Paul Milliken is live out there. Paul, what is the update? I know earlier in the tease they were down, but now they're up and moving. They are up and running. The attempt is underway right now. Here's the funny thing, Eric. We were going to start this like 40 minutes ago, but the dance party was so raging. They were like, you know what? Let's just keep dancing for a while. We'll do the world record attempt a little bit later. It is a nonstop party. What you're seeing right now is a world record attempt for the largest senior care lesson. And look, all they needed to do was meet 246 people for a 40-minute lesson. They have more than 240. 46 out here right now, and they are certainly going to break this record. And you see on stage, right behind Deshaun here, the woman standing there, that is the Guinness World Record adjudicator. So she is in from Mexico City, believe it or not, came all the way up here to Atlanta, and she's the adjudicator. So she just went over the rules with everybody, and she is watching closely. At the end of all this, I think we're going to have a brand-new world record, which is so exciting. Deshaun Johnson's entire platform... He's empowering seniors, and what he wants to do today with this senior care lesson is to give all of them tools they can pass on to other seniors and start a movement of healthier and more independent living. Hey, really quickly, how's it going so far? This is amazing. I love aging well. I love aging with vibrations, with vitality, all the things. This is great. We love it. And this is not your first world record. You did this back in May, right? This is our third attempt. October last year, May of this year, we actually broke the record this year, and we're doing it again right here at Samson Fitness, New Birth. Absolutely. What does it feel like to look out and see all of these seniors here making a move toward a healthier future? Paul, this is inspirational for me. I'm a mother of six, I'm a grandmother of 13, and these are my inspiration, these are my passion, and this is my mission. I would access health and wellness, I'm a National Board Certified Health Coach, and this is my mission, and I love it. I'm so happy to have met Deshaun Johnson. Yeah, yeah. It's a great partnership. You guys are an unstoppable team, that is for sure, because this is really just the beginning of a movement, right? It's a movement. It's a mission. It's about living well and longevity. And do you see how they dance? They're happy. They're smiling. It's amazing, and I love it. And the young people should really take note. They're an inspiration. Absolutely. You know what? Get back to work. Okay. We got to work out together. We got to do some workouts right now. We got to be like everybody else and get our workout in. You know what was very cool a few minutes ago? Deshawn called out to the crowd and said, All right, if you're 50 to 60, raise your hand. 60 to 70, raise your hand. 70 to 80, raise your hand. 80 to 90, we had people out there who were cheering, people between the ages of 80 and 90 years old who are out here working out, moving toward a better future, and hopefully breaking a world record. So, Eric Perry, we're going to keep you posted. I think they're going to do it again. All they needed to do was get more than 246 people and to be working out for 40 minutes. are well on their way. Oh, and let me just end with this. This is my buddy Michael with the best smile in here. Don't trust anything he says about me, all right? He's been giving me a hard time all day. Don't trust a word of it, all right? Eric Berry, we're going to send it back to you. But the party, it ain't going to stop out here at Samson Fitness. Can you tell I'm sweating already? I can tell, Paul. Okay, I know you might have said this, but when will they find out? Will they find out today if they broke that record? This morning, honestly, in like 35 minutes. So we will let you know so you can let the viewers know as soon as it happens. They will know immediately. Because she's adjudicating, and as soon as the lesson is done and they hit that timeline, as long as nobody has moved, everybody has to stay at their seat doing the lesson. That's all they need to do. So we will know this morning, and you will know when we find out too. Because I'll be celebrating. I'll be like, I was there for a world record. You were there sweating up a storm and having a good time. Paul Milligan, we'll check back in to see if they hit that record. All right, 927 is your time. Still to come.
