Gemini (old audio): The main exercise, squats, stand with your feet wide, lower your hips as if you were sitting on a chair, and keep your back straight and chest. Go down as far as you can comfortably.
Michael Calories: Lunges on each leg, three sets of 10, plank, three sets holding 30 to 60 seconds, that’s torture. Glute bridges, three sets of 15 reps. Then it talks about slow weight gain and it talks about rest days and all that stuff, which is good. And then I said, “Well, I don’t know how to do lunges.” Can you show me how to make rubber?” And it showed me a bunch of videos, five videos.
Lauren Goode: YouTube, maybe?
Michael Calories: Yes, they were YouTube videos. Two of the links were exactly the same, but I watched all the videos and I was like, “Okay, I feel like I’m going to fall.” And I breathed and I didn’t hurt myself, and I felt the burning.
Lauren Goode: That’s pretty cool, actually.
Michael Calories: Yes. The only thing that was surprising was that I searched on Google and found the same thing from several places. And aside from that video, I don’t know where Gemini got this. I don’t even know what the recipe is. It was all just presented to me as, “This is what Gemini says.”
Lauren Goode: There is no search.
Michael Calories: There is no search. And I did everything, and I never saw anything good.
Lauren Goode: And obviously people put together those exercise plans or write about those recipes. And this was published and I’m sorry, but your limited information is now being cut and added to the Secret, and you don’t know where it’s coming from.
Michael Calories: Julienne.
Lauren Goode: That’s right.
Zoë Schiffer: Okay, so you’re going to continue with this? Will you continue to use it for this purpose, or do you feel like it’s just a one-time trial?
Michael Calories: Honestly, the workout regimen, it’s really tough. I’ll still do it.
Lauren Goode: Good.
Michael Calories: 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 it to you. about that.
Lauren Goode: I’ve eaten some of your recipes, and I think I’ll share them with you next time.
Zoë Schiffer: So diplomatic.
Michael Calories: Good, good.
Lauren Goode: But thank you, thank you.
Michael Calories: So I have to say that, for me, as a person who understands myself and understands my needs, it was not very helpful. The workouts were great. I would have found that without Gemini 2.O, but if someone is new to this or someone has a lot of questions, or if someone is thinking about making a lifestyle change in this way, then it gave very good advice.
