A black cat’s unconventional workout on a walking pad has gone viral, challenging common assumptions about exercise routines for both humans and their furry companions. The video, which recently attracted widespread attention on social media platforms, shows a feline engaging in a rather unexpected method of using a walking pad—an exercise machine typically designed for humans. The cat’s unique posture and relaxed stride have led viewers to question everything they know about exercise methods and even inspired some to reconsider their own fitness habits.

A new large-scale international study offers encouraging news for busy Thais feeling guilty about skipping weekday exercise: cramming your workouts into one or two days—known as the “weekend warrior” approach—may provide life-extending health benefits similar to exercising throughout the week, as long as you reach 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity weekly. The findings, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association and covered by the American Heart Association and SciTechDaily, challenge the common perception that daily exercise is essential for optimal health, and could reshape how Thailand’s office workers, students, and elders prioritize physical activity in their routines.
