Every December there are always a few features that come my way addressing wellbeing and health, ready to be published in January the following year. 2019 was no different. But instead of the normal feature that makes you feel bad about all the self improvement memberships you haven’t signed up for in the New Year, or for those who fell at the ‘will-strength hurdle’ as soon as your friends asked you out for a drink, burger and chips - Romesh Ranganathan tells the story of all the self improvement he has tried but failed at. And maybe it isn’t so bad. So - I took Romesh on a workout in a photography studio. He posed as personal trainer, exerciser, dietician and dieter. A few handfuls of poses in around 4 hours. It might not do much to prevent a heart attack, for talent or photographer, but a shoot like this is bound to release a few beads of sweat.
