The Guinness world record for the most star jumps in one minute is 61 and was achieved by Ashrita Furman (USA) at the Panorama Café in Jamaica, New York, USA.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most side jumps (alternating each leg) achieved in a minute: 90, achieved by Alastair Galpin (New Zealand).
The Lexington Christian Academy fourth-grader also has been a gymnast for about four years.
In fact, he says star jumps are "a little easier" than some of the gymnastic moves he normally does.
