"Immersive workouts give you a motion to do - like chopping, waving, marching in place, or jumping - that matches with a video clip or animation happening on your screen. In India's comments section, one person said, "I'm crying. This is hilarious." Another wrote, "This is great seasonal depression activities, thank you!" They're an easy way to make your workouts fun, and since most of them are only two minutes long, they work perfectly as a warm-up, too."
"Contrary to popular belief, pre-workout warm-ups don't have to be a boring round of static stretches. In fact, they can be super fun. On TikTok, they've even turned into a game. On the app, "immersive warm-ups" and "interactive workouts" are going viral not only because they get your blood pumping, but because they're so unserious. On Nov. 15, @indiagants tried one workout, which involved doing hand motions in front of her TV."
Immersive warm-ups pair simple motions—chopping, waving, marching, jumping—with matching video clips or animations to create playful, interactive routines. These brief sequences typically last around two minutes and double as effective warm-ups while increasing engagement and mood. Viral examples include waving at a cat, pretending to chop a cucumber, stomping through virtual snow, and swaying in a movie theater. Viewers report laughter, endorphin-like joy, and relief from seasonal low mood. Searching "interactive warm-up" or "immersive workout" on YouTube or TikTok surfaces many quick, fun options for pre-workout activity.
