Mexican soap opera star and fitness influencer Bárbara de Regil has drawn backlash for performing a workout routine mid-flight.
The 37-year-old actor, who starred in Latin American telenovelas like Lalola and Rosario Tijeras, was traveling with her husband, Fernando Schoenwald, when she decided to unwind by turning the cabin aisle into her personal gym. She performed a full “body pump” workout mid-flight, which didn’t exactly win over her fellow passengers or online spectators.
“I’m feeling crazy after nearly 35 hours in the air on planes,” the fitness guru explained, addressing her 9 million Instagram followers in an Instagram Story post. But instead of sticking to light stretches or a casual stroll, de Regil opted for a full-throttle, multistep workout, including running in place and squat jumps — all while wearing pajamas and an eye mask.
Her husband, unfazed, stayed seated and scrolled through his phone as if nothing unusual was happening.
Meanwhile, online critics weren’t as chill.
“This ridiculous lady has already won the Idiot of the Year award,” one said.
“I go to the back of the plain and stretch not in the middle of the Isle,” wrote another.
“Planes don’t have showers, she must stink,” a third added.
