The video displays a split screen showing 'Day 1' with a cartoon of a person with a belly and 'Day 7' with a cartoon of a person with abs. Below this, a person demonstrates six different ab exercises, showing the incorrect way on the left (marked with an 'X') and the correct way on the right (marked with a checkmark).

Why it worked
This format works by directly addressing a common problem (incorrect exercise form) and offering a clear, visual solution. The before-and-after graphic at the top provides aspirational motivation, while the side-by-side comparison of correct vs. incorrect form makes the information easy to digest and apply. The use of a trending audio also boosts discoverability.
