A 64-year-old from Leicestershire is claiming the world record for the most consecutive dragon flags - an extreme core strength and stamina exercise.

Dave Sansom, from Ibstock, says he completed 172 repetitions in 10 minutes 38 seconds - and hopes to confirm of his achievement within a fortnight.

The exercise involves Mr Sansom lying on his back and raising his legs vertically before lowering them. Mr Sansom said he beat the previous record of 135 by 37 repetitions.

The dragon flag exercise was invented by the legendary Martial Art star Bruce Lee. Dave is how waiting for the Guinness World Records to verify his attempt.

Dave told Ady Dayman how his abs were feeling after competing the challenge.
