The Science Behind ‘Balance Challenge’ on TikTok

It’s a battle of the sexes that’s taken over TikTok! In the viral “center of gravity challenge,” or the “balance challenge,” a man and woman start off on their knees and elbows, then try to quickly put their hands behind their backs without falling. But one person always seems to win: the woman! Meanwhile, men keep eating the floor as they lose their balance and fall on their faces. It turns out that the science behind this says that women have a lower center of gravity, giving them an edge. #InsideEdition

It’s literally just about the knee placement. Nothing about the “cEnteR of gRaviTy”

Lol! Yall so pressed over her saying women rule, calm down.

[Reckoning]

I’m a girl with “bigger shoulders” and I smashed my face into the floor. Physics proved to me that I have no curves. lol

[pdawg]

She really had the audacity to say “yep woman rule” after that guy said they have a lower center of gravity. 😶😑

[allier]

its because people who suceed it lean more towards their calves rather than their shoulders
