      ​@@hidavidwen the perfect combination of music and image, with every shot being considered equally important, not only presenting the best landscapes and meals, but also the people walking, sweating and enjoying a cold beer at the end of a walk.
      And not speech in the video is cool, too many videos with too many words, speaking in videos is not necessary if you have a story already in the shots.

      But I find the best training is just staying active-whatever that means for you. And lots of walking...at your own pace and adding smaller distances each time...and then eventually taking your backpack with you. Baby steps and you'll get there!

      Hahahaha, I was quite fit when I got back. BUT...I don't know about 8-pack ready...because I did quite a bit of eating and drinking Spanish wine too😁
