Joachim's other Guinness records include: the most bridesmaids (79) and groomsmen (47) at a wedding; the longest drumming marathon (84 hours); the fastest time to crawl a mile (23 minutes, 45 seconds); the longest time in a rocking chair (74 hours); the longest Elvis Presley impersonation (54 hours); and the longest distance run with a 4.5 kg brick in an ungloved hand and in an uncradled downward position (126.67 km).
Joachim credits yoga and meditation for his feats. "Everything is in your mind. Once you make up your mind, you can break records. That's how I decided to set records in 1991 after reading the Guinness Book of World Records, given to me by an uncle.
"More than breaking world records, I perform these feats to raise money for charities to alleviate child poverty. Though I have been to many countries to break Guinness records, now I will run a peace marathon through rich countries to raise money for charities," he said.
