"This person is promoting this exercise as what do if you want to get skinny, she also has other posts where she says multiple times," said Sohee Lee, a personal trainer.

She added that the social media user's claim that all you need to do is an exercise for an hour and eat whatever you want is something dangerous to do. Lee also compared the TikTok challenge with going for a jog after eating a heavy meal.

On the other hand, other fitness coaches said that if you want to improve your tummy's shape, you also need to improve your balance and stability. They said that this can be done through crunches, hollow body holds, and side planks.

"We are constantly bombarded by adverts selling us unrealistic expectations," said Sirin Atceken, a psychologist at WeCure.
