A famous Mexican fitness influencer and actress has been slammed for getting up and doing a bizarre workout in the middle of the plane aisle, sparking a massive debate about acceptable plane etiquette.
Barbara De Regil, who has over 13 million followers on TikTok and nine million on Instagram, said she was going “crazy” after sitting down for so long while on a 35-hour flight with her husband in November.
So, she got up and started exercising, but we’re not just talking about a gentle walk up and down the aisle. In the viral video, the woman, who is wearing her pajamas and an eye mask, starts sprinting on the spot and doing huge jumps.

Moving around when you’re on a long flight is essential to improve your circulation and prevent blood clots, but the influencer is literally doing a full-body workout right in the middle of the cabin which is not only annoying but also a real safety hazard.
Her husband is sitting there on his phone in the background seeming very unbothered, but people are slamming her online for being so inconsiderate to other passengers and flight attendants, and blocking the walkway.
One person wrote: “This ridiculous lady has already won the Idiot of the Year award.”
“This would have sent me into a rage. Actually,” said another.
A third person added: “The way I wouldn’t have just sat there quietly.”
“I would’ve told her to sit her a** down,” someone else said.
FIT (@barbaraderegil)Some are defending the influencer and actress, saying 35 hours of connecting flights is a really long time and she clearly needed to move, but others think she didn’t need to go quite so extreme with her workout.
A gentle walk up and down the aisle or even a little stretch really would have been fine.
It comes as another influencer is suing an airline after she was filmed refusing to give up her pre-booked window seat to a crying child, and her whole life was turned upside down because of it.
