Austin Head is a fitness enthusiast who has set the Guinness World Record for the number of lunges done in an hour. To prepare for his record-setting attempt, Head listened to motivational videos and uplifting music to get into the right mindset. He also prioritized his recovery by receiving weekly IVs, using red light therapy, cold plunges, and engaging in stretch/massage sessions. Despite teaching almost 30 hours a week of exercise classes as a trainer in Brooklyn, Head made sure to take care of himself and stay in peak condition.
Head’s mantra of “I AM POWERFUL, I AM STRONG!!” helped him achieve this remarkable feat. His friends, family, and students cheered him on during the attempt, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. In addition to setting the world record, Head also worked to raise money for community athletic programs and green parks for NYC kids to play in. He aimed to raise $3 per lunge but ended up raising an impressive $7,600 for the Life Time Foundation. Head’s dedication to fitness, determination, and philanthropic efforts have made him a true inspiration to others.
