Another exercise in how NOT to make a workout video
If anything I’m adding this more as a record of having done it rather than because it led to a recording worth watching. The work in progress remains a work in progress!

A workout and more recording experiments
OK, I’m sure Spielberg, Nolan and Cameron have had a few setbacks in their film making careers, so you cannot begrudge me the odd one either. I (self-evidently) shot this on far too low a resolution, and I pointed the camera downwards so it didn’t capture enough light. Oh well, it will take weeks or…

Summer Saturday Session (19th August 2023)
Today is my doctoral anniversary!! What better way to celebrate than a workout? 🙂 To keep things efficient I recorded these videos on my phone rather than on my new action cam. I need to buy some video editing software to go with my action cam. This means something of a procurement exercise will have…

Action Cam Road Test, 17th Aug 2023
I’ve given it a whirl in the gym and park, now it was time to put my action cam through its paces on the road. An added bonus is that I get a workout in in the process, worth 800kcal+ not to mention “after burn”. Fingers crossed I’ve taken another step forwards towards my potential…

Action cam test #2: Lido park, 15th Aug. 2023
Here’s another trial run with a bunch of cool new things, most notably a new off-road bike (A Specialized Status 140) and action cam (Akaso Brave 7 LE). At some point I want to edit vids with music but one step at a time…! This test was run in a nearly park. It has a…

Throwing a few post-Rio punches, 14 Aug ’23
I’m back in the home gym, equipped with a new toy (which I’m doing a bad job of using so far but this was my first effort in all fairness). That toy is an Akaso Brave 7 LE action cam, which I will use to capture my journey back to fitness and tone. I can…

Quick session
I only had time for 4 sets so I made them count: deadlifts & squats. I’ve got a tiny bit of momentum and I’m away for much of July, so I want to keep it up rather than start afresh in August.

Bounce back session #3, 22 June ’23
I’ve got work going on that will take me all the way up to my Majorca holiday. Otherwise, I’m otherwise occupied with an important side project so it’s taken me a few days to put in another session. It’s good to get around to though, I did bag work + arms and chest. A few…

Bounce back session #2, 12 June ’23
As well as putting in some key chest exercises I went hard on the squats and deadlifts. I’ve ached for a few days since. Pain is progress!

Back to Basics in the Home Gym
Well well, what a 2023 so far! Yep, you guessed it, the gym went out the window from February onwards as the Spring semester kicked in. 10 good workouts in January. Zero Feb-May. 😦 On this occasion I could not be harsh on myself for this, it was genuinely impossible. Still, I got back in…
