A fitness influencer has shared a daily one-minute workout that she insists gave her a ‘flat stomach.’
The exercise guru, known as Dora Fit online, went viral after she shared a video of herself showing off the simple, 60-second move that she does every day to stay in shape.
Dora, from New York City, who has created her own line of athleisure wear called Pretty in Pink, posted the clip to Instagram back in December, but it recently resurfaced.
‘POV: Your Pilates instructor told you to do this exercise for one minute daily, and now your stomach is flat, your inner thighs are slimmer, and your waist is snatched,’ she wrote across the video.
It showed her laying on a yoga mat with her legs straight out but slightly off the ground.
She then bent her knees and lifted them to her chest before straightening her legs again, without ever letting them touch the ground.
Lastly, she spread them apart before bringing them back together. She repeated the entire process over and over again for one minute.
‘Add this to your routine, one of the best ab exercises,’ she added in the caption.

Immediately, users became intrigued by the idea of a workout that takes such a small amount of time – and wondered if it was really affective.
Thankfully, some people in the comment section said they tried it out, and many were pleased by the results.
‘I’m going to do this right now for one minute and I’ll come back and tell you how I felt,’ one user wrote.
They then added in a follow-up, ‘Y’all. I did it for a minute and a half and my thighs and core feel the burn.
‘Make sure your back is good posture and you’re using your core muscles or you’ll feel like dying. And you feel like dying regardless.’
They even shared an update the next day, writing, ‘Next day. I feel the soreness from doing it in my thigh muscles.
‘Probably cause I for real am not athletic at all. The more you do it, I’m sure the pain will not be there and there will be results.’
‘I’ve been doing this, and other similar variations of it, for years and it works,’ shared another user. ‘Do it in fairly slow, controlled movements.’

Others confessed that they tried it, and that it was a lot harder than it looked.
‘This exercise made me meet God in one minute,’ one person joked.
‘This exercise is genuinely not as simple as it looks, it does the job but one min a day [is death],’ someone else chimed in.
Some people, however, shut down Dora’s claims that doing the exercise for a minute every day will give you ‘abs.’
‘Just so y’all know – there’s a lot that goes into seeing physical abs and it almost has nothing to do with training abs for one minute,’ one user quipped.
‘I don’t understand how it’s the year 2025 and people still believe in spot burning and all this other BS about “one minute a day exercises,” scathed a different person.
‘You have to eat right to actually lose fat,’ read another comment.
‘This won’t be an end all be all for those that struggle with their weight and tone, however it is genuinely a good exercise for your core for sure to add with doing other things,’ said someone else.
