What’s your excuse for skipping a workout today? A viral video making the rounds on social media is making it harder to justify missed fitness goals.
Content creator Chirag Walunj left the internet stunned after he completed 10,000 steps – without leaving his house. In the now-viral clip, Walunj is seen carefully walking in place on a wooden stool, turning an everyday object into an unlikely fitness prop.
Yes, you read that right. The 20-year-old content creator, who regularly posts fitness videos on his social network, managed to complete his daily step goal entirely on a stool, completing the challenge in just 1 hour and 33 minutes. The unusual act quickly caught the attention of social media users, many of whom reacted with disbelief, humor and curiosity.
This isn’t Walunja’s first unconventional fitness experiment. He had earlier attempted to walk 10,000 steps on a chair and table and had even challenged himself to walk from Thane to Dadar. However, this latest trick seems to have hit the internet for its sheer absurdity and commitment.
The video, which was shared two days ago, has already reached more than 2.6 million views and continues to garner reactions. The comments section is full of funny replies and memes.
“Ghoom yeh raha chakkar mujhe aa raha,” quipped one user while another quipped, “Shaktiman sir please go to the park it’s nice.”
Others were sharper. “Unemployed behavior but I still watched it all,” read one comment, while another simply asked: “I have a question: kyu?”
Several users also took the opportunity to up the ante by suggesting new challenges for creators. “Bro another 10,000 steps on one brick,” read one comment, summing up the internet’s endless appetite for the next viral dare.
While opinions remain divided between admiration and amusement, one thing is clear — this viral video proved once again that when it comes to fitness content, creativity can travel far, even without stepping outside.
