PSA: That viral "5 minute abs routine" video is a total time suck

I tried that YouTube video everyone's been sharing, the one with 25 million views promising flat abs in 5 minutes a day, and after 6 weeks of doing it every morning I saw zero change in my midsection. Turns out the creator was a fitness model who admitted in an older podcast that she actually did 45 minutes of cardio plus her routine, but the short video went viral instead. Has anyone else fallen for these quick fix workout clips, or am I just the last one to figure this out?

Man my buddy got totally suckered by one of those. He did a 6 minute "dance cardio" video for like two months straight and couldn't figure out why his jeans still felt tight. Then his girlfriend pointed out the creator was a professional dancer who trained for like three hours a day plus the video. Felt bad for him but also kinda funny.

Maybe it's not that deep if the guy enjoyed moving around for two months.
