Why it worked

The video likely resonated with viewers by subverting expectations about fitness and normalizing less intense forms of exercise, while also using humor to deliver its message.

Summary

The creator humorously challenges the idea that slow running or walking during a run is abnormal, suggesting that the true abnormality is the high percentage of Americans who don't exercise at all. They playfully mock the idea of exerting oneself at a slow pace, implying that any movement is good.

Structure

1Challenging the notion of "normal" running paces
2Highlighting the statistic of Americans not exercising
3Playfully mocking slow jogging paces
4Concluding that any exertion is good

Transcript

What's normal is the 75% of Americans that don't do any exercise. So you walk jogging at a 17 minute pace? So cool choosing to exert yourself and do something that you're really not that good at? That's hard, abnormal. That's why it's so good.
