Gemini [archival audio]: Important bodyweight exercises, squats, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, lower your hips while sitting in a chair, keep your back straight and chest up. Go as low as you comfortably can.
Michael Calor: Lunges for each leg, three sets of 10, planks, three sets of 30 to 60 second holds, which is torture. Glute bridge, three sets of 15 reps. And then it talks about progressive overload and it talks about rest days and all that stuff, which is great. And then I was like, “Okay, I don’t know how to lunge. Can you show me how to lunge?” And it presented me with a bunch of videos, five videos.
Lauren Good: YouTube, perhaps?
Michael Calor: Yes, they were YouTube videos. The links were exactly the same, but I watched all the videos and I thought, “Okay, I think I can do a lunge now.” And I did a lunge and I didn’t hurt myself, and I felt the burn.
Lauren Good: It’s actually pretty great.
Michael Calor: yes The strange thing about this is that I did a google search and found the exact same information from a few different places. And aside from the video, I don’t know where Gemini got any of this information. I don’t even know where it got the recipe from. It was all presented to me as, “It says Gemini.”
Lauren Good: No sourcing.
Michael Calor: No sourcing. And I tapped into everything, and I didn’t see any good sourcing.
Lauren Good: And maybe people put together those workout plans or wrote about those recipes. And it was published and sorry, but infinite bits of your data are now being harvested and added to some recipe and you have no idea where it came from.
Michael Calor: Julien.
Lauren Good: That’s right.
Joe Schiffer: Okay, so are you going to stick with this? Are you going to use it for this purpose, or does it feel like a one-and-done test?
Michael Calor: Honestly, the workout regime, it’s pretty tough. I will keep doing it.
Lauren Good: excellent
Michael Calor: And as far as recipes go, I have so many cookbooks and so many years of cooking for myself that I don’t need to make this quinoa salad again, Lauren, unless you want me to make it and give you some. of
Lauren Good: I’ve had other dishes you’ve made and I think I’ll suggest them next time.
Joe Schiffer: So diplomatic.
Michael Calor: Okay, great.
Lauren Good: But thank you, your appreciation.
Michael Calor: So I’ve got to say that, for me, as a person who understands myself and understands my own needs, it really wasn’t that big of a help. The workout was excellent. I could have found this without the Gemini 2.O, but if anyone is new to it or has a lot of questions, or if anyone is considering this kind of lifestyle change, it actually has some pretty good advice.
