Celebs, they're just like us, at least when it comes to trying out the latest crazes on social media.

On October 8, during a segment on their show called "Viral Challenges Week," Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuleos tried their hand at a viral strength challenge based on this fan-favorite film: Titanic. The exercise involves two participants; one lifts their partner on their thighs while the other stands tall trying to recreate Rose's (played by Kate Winslet) signature pose—you know the one—and there's no fancy ship deck needed.

No surprise here, the couple flawlessly executed the trick on the first try and sported beaming smiles as they successfully held the pose. See the full video down below.

The #titancchallenge has nearly 80 thousand videos under the hashtag on TikTok with several couples showing off their amateur acrobatic skills. But this isn't the only viral challenge Ripa and Consuelos have tried on the show. From handstands to cartwheels, the duo is constantly nailing these buzzy couple challenges on their first go...except for one.

The pair recently tried the 'balance challenge' which seems easier than the ones they've nailed before. Again, this exercise involves two participants. One lays on the ground while the other stands (holding their partner's legs), attempting to lift their partner with their thighs as they keep leaning back to distribute their weights evenly. Think of a still seesaw on a playground.

On their first try, Ripa tries to lift her hubby in an effort to balance them both. However, before they can fully find their balance, they both take a tumble to the ground. The second attempt goes much smoother as the stars have now swapped places. Within seconds, they easily fly into the pose despite the first stumble. What a pair.

Can't wait to see what challenge they try out next.
