Guinness World Record

The longest raised leg hold (SS)

When your ambition and determination become your perseverance, you can create wonders! ~ Sparsh Shah

I am so happy to share with you all that I have now become the “Guinness World Records Holder” for the “Longest Raised Leg Hold” by holding my legs up in the air for 120 minutes (2 hours) at a 45 degree angle! Despite having over 150 fractures in life and with an incurable brittle bones condition, I was able to achieve this unimaginable feat through daily practice, patience and sheer determination for over last 3+ years!

I would like to spread the message and inspire millions of people all over the world to focus on their health, follow their passion and never give up in life.
