The Road Rage Gym: When Push‑Ups End Up in Traffic
Ever seen a guy try to do a full workout straight on the main street? In this week’s “youths doing stupid things” roundup, a young man literally sprinted onto the road to crank through push‑ups and sit‑ups—right in the path of oncoming cars.
The clip, shared by user @netizensofs1ngapore on Instagram, sent the community into a frenzy. “This is unacceptable behaviour,” declared Fyan, the Stomp contributor who first spotted the video.
Watch this: the prankster starts with a few push‑ups, then drops into sit‑ups, all while cars whizz by. A horn blows, a neighbor shouts, and the daring athlete retreats to the sidewalk after barely squeezing in two sit‑ups.
Caption mock‑says: “NAPFA test gold material.” “They did it for the gram … but all I got was a red traffic light,” says a disappointed on‑looker.
Another Round of Road‑Standing “Fitness” Fails
It’s not the first time we’ve seen youngsters turn the streets into a makeshift gym.
- December last year: a teen hopped over a railing, stripped his shorts mid‑street, and gave himself a butt‑smack — all to film a “snap.”
- August same year: a different young man ran into a busy street and did five push‑ups before sprinting back to safety.
These videos have sparked a Real‑Talk debate: does chasing likes ever justify risking lives in public spaces? Many agree the stakes are high, especially with heavy traffic and impatient motorists.
Bottom Line
Let’s keep sidewalks for shoes and errands, and park lanes for pumps and push‑ups. Your next “grinning selfie” could be the one that’s held back by a warning from the road‑side crew and the honking sounds of escape. Stay safe, stay in the lane—your feeds won’t be the same if you need a highway rescue.
