About
Russell Wilson Working Out On a Plane refers to parodies of a story told by Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson detailing how he worked out on a team flight, performing high knees down the aisle of the plane for "four hours." The story was deemed ridiculous and disrespectful to Wilson's teammates by many commenters. Online, the tale was parodied by people posting humorous videos of workout routines as a way of imagining Wilson's workout.
Origin
On October 26th, 2022, Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson claimed to reporters that he'd spent an eight-hour team flight watching tape and working out a sore leg, including that he worked out by doing "high knees," a workout wherein one raises and bends their legs as if running, down the plane's aisle. He claimed he was doing the workout while his teammates were asleep.[1]
Here is #Broncos QB Russell Wilson describing his routine on the 8-hour flight. He talked about high knees. I believe he did treatment and leg work for chunk of time. Not sure it was four hours of high knees. If it was, then damn. #Denver7 pic.twitter.com/J34iZX5sde

Parodies of the story followed soon after it broke on Twitter. One of the earliest parodies was posted by @itsYDG2, who used a clip of wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin smacking Vince McMahon with a guitar to represent how they would have felt were they one of Wilson's teammates. The tweet gained over 40 retweets and 200 likes in two days (shown below).
