After midnight, TikTok is a different world altogether. Followers can't help but comment on the bizarre content they stumble across.

In addition to physical benefits, these fun workouts can also boost mental well-being. Adelaide Now reported that engaging in playful physical activities helps release dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters in our brain linked to mood regulation and pleasure. This type of "soft fitness" focuses on enjoyment and self-care rather than intensity, making it a sustainable way to stay active. With quirky workouts, people are more likely to stay motivated and maintain a regular fitness routine.
