S9 Ep6: Mr Motivator on movement, mindset and becoming Prime Minister.

On this week’s #MondayMile podcast I’m joined by fitness instructor, television star and all round bundle of energy Mr Motivator.  Mr Motivator shot to fame in 1993 when he joined GMTV, leading fitness sessions for the nation, and following up with a best-selling line of fitness videos. He’s kept up his mission of fitness for everyone in recent years; he joined the BBC’s HealthCheck UK Live during lockdown to help us keep fit at home, and he currently leads regular home workouts on social media. Our chat is filled with inspirational gems. He tells me how he channelled his positive mindset into success, going from a struggling single father leading classes in his local leisure centre to training celebrities and exercising with the nation on television. We also talk in depth about spreading joy, finding inspiration to move, and his aspirations to become Prime Minister (I’d definitely vote for him!) A huge thanks to ‘Mote’ for joining me on this week’s episode. It’s hard not to feel inspired when you’re walking around with a man who’s high-fiving people in the street!

Former Team GB double winter Olympian, and no broadcaster and author Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities which will drop every week. Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?’ Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. Dropping every Monday as a bitesize 23-35 minute piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
