‘I Feel Like I’m Doing the Push Ups’: Steve Harvey’s Workout Video Goes Left After Fans Point Out the Cameraperson’s Recording Skills

Steve Harvey‘s exercise video left fans scratching their heads on Jan.5 after zooming in on the “Family Feud” host’s cameraperson. 

In the Instagram upload, Harvey, in an undisclosed gym with his trainer and someone recording video, noisily enters the scene before executing a round of push-ups.

The clip continues with the 64-year-old trying to complete the task with dumbbells. Things begin to take an unexpected turn when the unidentified individual who was recording the video starts moving in an up-and-down motion with Harvey.

As Harvey gets up and looks to his trainer to confirm the number of push-ups he’s accomplished, the unnamed male trainer responds, “five.” An exhausted Harvey questions his remark by saying, “five?”

The post ends with the trainer jokingly reiterating that the star only completed that particular amount despite how it looked on video. He said, “Yeah, five, let’s do one more; that was four. You’ll be all right.” Harvey captioned the recording, “Let’s GO!!!!!!”

When fans viewed Harvey’s post, many couldn’t get past the cameraperson’s recording abilities. A couple even expressed how they were affected by watching the video.

“Wait y’all making me dizzy. Stay still cameraman good job Unc.”

“Um did the camera individual know they do not have to move the phone to match.”

“Tell the camera man to keep the camera still the next time so I can watch the video.”

“I feel like I’m doing those push ups when the camera goes like that… Hope to lose some weight.”

“Cameraman. Hold the camera still. Giving me motion sickness.”

In addition to the remarks about the cameraperson’s recording skills, others brought up Harvey’s response to his trainer’s push-up count. One wrote, “My mannnn Steve like ‘5!!?'” Another wrote, while complimenting the “Judge Steve Harvey” host, “Uncle Steve said -5? Keep going… you look amazing.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
