Instagram will not suffice as they only allow up to 60 seconds.
Combining videos
If the lesson allows you to combine videos, that means you can shoot all angles and exercises required can be shot in one video, however you need to remove any long pauses or breaks by stopping and starting recording. If your recording device has the option, you can pause and resume recording. You’re also allowed to edit out pauses and break with software if you have the capability to do so.
Editing
Unless otherwise stated, you’re never allowed to modify the speed of your recording.
