A TikToker shared a video of her mom's clever hack for counting steps during a competition with her friends for who can get the most steps—and it's diabolical.

Becca Bloom is well-known on TikTok for being born into a wealthy family, and she frequently shares luxury hauls of high-end bags, clothing, and makeup, and extravagant trips around the world.

But one video that's drawn a lot of attention has little to do with Bloom, luxury, or travel, but rather her mother's hack that's so hilariously good, it's cheating.


Before leaving on a family trip, Bloom's mother committed to a challenge with her friends. They all agreed to compete to see who could get the most steps in during a determined amount of time, and the "loser" would buy the friend group dinner the next time they got together.

In the video, Bloom was laughing before turning her camera to her mother.

Her mother was reclining in a chair on their private jet, sleeping with a face mask on and everything.

Meanwhile, her cell phone was in a stand that rocked back and forth, which in theory would increase her step count while she was sleeping and riding in the plane.

Bloom continued laughing while her family members appeared similarly amused, as her mother continued to slumber, unaware.

You can watch the video here:

Some TikTokers were impressed by Bloom's mother's level of ingenuity.

Some simply found this to be a hilarious way to win the challenge, even if it was technically cheating.

Others simply found Bloom's mother's hack hilarious.

While it wouldn't improve Bloom's mom's actual step count, like parking further away or taking the stairs, it at least was a good reminder to laugh about the little things.

Some imagined the reactions Bloom's mother was going to get when her friends saw her step count.

Since this was a challenge set between Bloom's mom and her friends, there was no telling what would happen if her friends ended up seeing this video and realizing where some of her step count came from.

Becca Bloom and her family clearly found her mother's hack hilarious, and some viewers were quick to agree, imagining tricking the system to earn more steps and burn more calories.

It's too bad that the hack doesn't actually count as more steps in the day and more calories burned throughout. Unfortunately, it's just for appearances, and possibly a free meal if she wins the friend group's challenge!

Ted Cruz Details How Trump Reacted After Elon Musk Tweeted That He's In The Epstein Files Amid Their Public Fallout—And Yiiikes

The relationship between tech investor Elon Musk and MAGA Republican President Donald Trump might be best described as complicated. Musk and Trump teamed up for the 2024 election over their shared White nationalism.

In the immediate aftermath of the inauguration, Musk held a major role in the second Trump administration, heading up the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that slashed appropriated funds' budget line items from agencies and departments across the federal government—something only Congress has authority to do—often based on a label of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) assigned by AI output and carried out by untrained, unqualified "tech bros."

When Practical Magic 2 was announced last year, fans were ready to head back to the Owens family home—but apparently, not everyone from the original cast got the invitation.

The sequel picks up 25 years after the 1998 cult classic, with Joey King and Maisie Williams taking over as Kylie and Antonia Owens, the daughters of Sandra Bullock’s Sally. The recasting hasn’t exactly worked its magic on everyone, with fans complaining about Evan Rachel Wood and Alexandra Artrip being replaced in the roles they originated.
