A video lasting just a few seconds turned Cole Mattera into one of the week’s viral stars.
In the footage, the fitness influencer appears doing an exercise routine completely drenched in sweat. The scene is so striking that many users said she looked like she had just come out of the shower, and some even claimed she must have been pouring water over herself.
Comments quickly began to appear: while some claimed that “that was not normal”, others simply could not believe that a person could sweat so much during a workout.
However, the explanation would be much simpler.
Cole usually trains at a gym specializing in high-intensity sessions held in heated environments, a format designed to raise body temperature and promote much heavier sweating than a conventional workout. In fact, the influencer herself often shares these types of routines on her social media.
For that reason, the video ended up causing so much confusion: those unfamiliar with this type of training thought something strange was happening, when in reality it was part of the usual dynamic at the place where she works out.
As often happens on the internet, a clip lasting just a few seconds was enough to generate thousands of opinions, criticisms, and theories before the full context emerged.
