TikTok dancing turns into fitness craze: ‘Tortoise and Hare’ choreography becomes the most difficult exercise on the network

The madness has now become a fitness challenge. Videos with over 3 million views show people turning the dance into a structured workout, breaking it up into a series of “rabbit jumps” and “turtle crawls.” Some are replacing their usual ab exercises with the turtle moves, while others argue that the cardiovascular fatigue of rabbits is stronger. The debate has divided TikTok: who has the hardest job, rabbits or tortoises? One thing is for sure – a dance intended for children has become one of the strongest viral workouts of 2025, showing once again that TikTok has the power to turn almost anything into a global phenomenon.
