This is the hilarious moment a boy tried a treadmill for the first time and ended up clinging to the side rails.

The youngster Zay Yar Phyo, in an orange shirt, watched his friend jogging before trying out the machine himself.

Footage shows Zay stepping onto the platform while their other mate, seated beside the treadmill, gradually increases the speed

As the belt accelerated, Zay began had to hop and skip but quickly became overwhelmed by the pace.

Exhausted from attempting to keep up, he hoisted himself up by gripping the side bars, suspending himself in the air as the treadmill continued running beneath him.

The prank sparked laughter among the group, as Zay dangled mid-air, visibly tired from the unexpected cardio workout at the family home in Mandalay, Myanmar, on May 15.
