When he finally lifted his left foot he lost balance before giggling and failing the challenge and sharing the video with his 775,000 followers.

‘At least I can p*ss standing up,’ the famous New Zealand born personal trainer captioned the video.

Before his wife hit back with a passive aggressive quip of her own: ‘At least I can actually get my dirty laundry in the basket and not next to it.’

The couple’s attempts at the challenge quickly went viral, impressing their fans.

‘This is hilarious,’ said one woman before deciding to try the challenge with her husband. 

But some men claimed they were able to step over the pole.

‘My girlfriend challenged me to this and was very disappointed at how easy it was for me,’ one said.

The challenge is the latest in a string of viral mobility and gravity centered challenges which men struggle to complete.

They must then lift the chair up to their chest and stand up.

Multiple people have tried it, but it seems as if only women are able to do it successfully.

Scientists have different thoughts on why this could be the case, one involving varying centres of gravity for the different genders.

The other theory is to do with men having larger feet – so further to walk away from the wall to reach the required paces.

A third challenge calls for men and women to keep their balance and avoid landing on their face while moving from all falls to holding their hands behind their backs.

In most videos, the woman maintains her balance, while the man’s face drops immediately to the ground. 

Couples are now posting their versions of the ‘center of gravity challenge’ to TikTok.

One woman joked she was ‘certain her husband has a concussion’ after video footage showed him face planting into their carpet.

The woman erupted into a fit of laughter as she watched her husband drop to the ground while she remained on her knees with her hands behind her back.

‘Apparently men have a different center of gravity that prevents them from doing this’, she captioned her video.
