Recently, a post went viral on TikTok (@m.a.n18) when a man known as Man shared his rather unusual night activity in a residential area. These days, more and more people prefer exercising at night since they are often tied up with work during the day, be it jogging at a nearby recreational park or simply working out at home.

But what drew attention was the way Man chose to exercise. In the video, he was seen spinning and running in circles around a single pole at the pedestrian walkway. To everyone's surprise, he managed to cover a distance of 5.72KM, equivalent to a marathon-like effort, just by circling the pole. Even more impressively, he completed it within 27 minutes and 32 seconds, clocking in a pace of 4.

Although the video was sped up, it was noticeable that Man stopped a few times during his laps, most likely due to dizziness from the repeated spins.

His quirky and creative way of exercising quickly captured public attention, with the video amassing 2.5 million views. "Short distance, high speed," wrote Man in his caption.

While the action may seem unusual, spinning around a pole alone in the middle of the night, the distance he covered was actually comparable to someone jogging around a park.

Scrolling through the comments section, many viewers admitted they were entertained by his random antics, with some leaving hilarious reactions to his workout. Others pointed out that running in circles like that could easily make someone feel extremely dizzy.

Despite the dizzying workout, one thing is clear: Man's "shortcut" exercise has certainly proven that creativity and humor can turn even the simplest activities into viral entertainment.
