It’s been a tough week for me with fitness videos. We’re approaching the summer solstice and the sun comes up over our roof earlier each morning. I need to have any videos done by 6:15 a.m. on our patio. Otherwise, I get blasted in the face with full-on sun.
This morning, I had problems with the camera. By the time I got things going, the sun was hitting me in the eyes. I solved that by propping our open patio umbrella against the grill, directly in line with a particularly piercing ray of sun. Unfortunately, the umbrella fell halfway through the video and I ended with the top of my head in the sun. No time to do another take – the sun was too high to block with anything less than a three story building.
Having said all that, this IS a good workout, despite the sun and the background noise. (Still waiting on my new mic.)
Do this now and then come back and join me for a re-do when I get a new mic… maybe after the solstice when I don’t have to get it done so early.
Stay fit (and keep your sense of humor)!
