We've all be spending a lot more time at home over recent months, and some people might be struggling to stay motivated, so who better to ask about motivation, that Mr Motivator himself!

The fitness fanatic, who was very popular on TV in the 90s for getting the nation exercising, told us that we should "get dressed with a purpose" and turn music on in every room in the house.

"The first thing you do it get out of bed and get dressed, every single day, get dressed with a purpose. Don't do it like you're going on the radio and wear anything!" Mr Motivator said, looking at what Producer Matt was wearing and continuing, "Get dressed like you mean business...I'm looking at what you're wearing and thinking, well, freebies are alright I suppose!"

With Matt replying, "I think you'll find I'm a lot less flammable that you Mr Motivator!"

Mr Motivator then went on to say that putting music on will keep you motivated, if you can fill your house with music, "It creates a mood and atmosphere".

He also suggested looking through old photo albums because, "In old photo albums is only good memories, you don't put pictures in there that bring back bad times."

He ended his tips by saying, "Remember, you are the most important person in your world, so treat yourself that way. Don't say to everyone 'yes', always be prepared to say 'no' sometimes."

Mr Motivator revealed that he works out EVERY DAY! As well as doing a brisk walk with his wife, the fitness guru does a daily live workout on YouTube.
