What utterly bizarre and strange times we’re living in right now! Coronavirus, self-isolating, social distancing… my god, are we sure we’re not all in a remake of The Truman Show?

There must be hundreds of thousands of us working from home, definitely for the next week, some for the next few. Lots of us won’t want to go out anywhere, including those pesky supermarkets - STOP PANIC BUYING, PEOPLE - and especially to the gym where I imagine it’s a hotbed of germs and disease. Imagine all those grubby hands all over the machines, pressing buttons, wiping sweat off… oh god, I’ve never been a germaphobe, but this is reason enough to start!

ANY WAY… for those of us working from home, don’t forget to still try and fit in some fitness - staying healthy is KEY here people! There are LOTS of amazing home workouts to complete. Yes, Joe Wicks is still all the rage, but DO NOT FORGET THE ICONS! Here are a few to consider:

CHER CHER CHER - the queen diva like you’ve never seen her before! Well, slight lie… seems like even when she is working out she goes ‘fashion’! I’ll be doing these for the foreseeable.

JANE FONDA - don’t think for a minute that I’ve forgotten the original workout queen. Jane’s keep fit routines are truly legendary. Do them here…

MR. MOTIVATOR - a true generational icon! Who remembers watching him over and over again on GMTV? You can’t not love him.

RICHARD SIMMONS - how can you not just smile all the way through one of his workouts? It’s so infectious! I love how there is kind of a story to each video, like a bad porn movie. His outfits are equally as iconic as his moves are!

WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE?
