Filming home workouts in a small space
By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026
Short answerPut the phone in a corner on the floor or low shelf, use the widest lens, film on the diagonal of the room, and keep the phone level so walls don’t lean. Landscape often fits floor exercises better.
Placement
- Corner of the room, as far back as possible.
- Low: around knee height for floor work.
- Ultra wide if your iPhone has it.
Framing
Do your biggest movement first and check nothing leaves the frame.
Sound
Music with your voice over it gets loud in small rooms. Keep music lower than you think.
Questions
Vertical or landscape?
Landscape for floor exercises; vertical for standing moves.
