So the has gone viral. Kids these days..
— Aditya (@forwardshortleg) WASHINGTON — Suddenly, the Ice Bucket Challenge doesn’t seem so silly.
The newest viral challenge asks the question: Can you reach around your back and touch your belly button?
It started in China on Weibo — the Chinese equivalent to Twitter — and has been mentioned hundreds of millions of times on both microblogging sites.
Most of the participants are young female users.
Fitness, nutrition, and psychological experts worry?that focusing on a stunt that encourages being extremely skinny is potentially damaging to a person’s psyche.
What makes matters worse — being skinny doesn’t make the #bellybuttonchallenge any more doable.
Longer arms and flexibility increase a person’s ability to perform the task, as much as having a small waistline.
