Mexico City broke a Guinness World Record for holding the largest fitness trampoline class. The 45-minute event took place on Sunday at a large public square Plaza del Plinth, located in the heart of the city, in which 3,935 people participated..
Initially, there were 4,065 participants. However, 130 people were disqualified because they were unable to comply with the guidelines set by the Guinness World Record.
In a video shared by Claudia Sheinbaum, head of the Mexico City government on Twitter, many people are seen jumping and exercising on trampolines. A huge stage is also seen where the instructors are seen telling the participants what exercise regime one needs to follow.
