Celebrity trainer Jono Castano Acero has revealed how YOU can keep in shape in lockdown, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Thursday, Jono, 28, said it’s as much about mindset as it is about exercise.
The buff trainer – who works with the likes of Rebel Wilson – said that it’s important to move the body for 45 minutes on the regular and to try and be as calm and stress-free as possible while stuck indoors.

Jono said 45 minutes are perfect for keeping fit.
‘That doesn’t mean everyday it’s about working at maximum capacity,’ Jono said.
Jono said that sitting for hours and not moving much ‘could have detrimental effects on your body and mind.’

He said people should be eating a diet of ‘fruit, vegetables and whole grains plus should focus on reducing saturated fats, salt and sugar.’
Jono – who has recently been doing live workouts for his followers – said it’s important to keep positive during the coronavirus pandemic and during lockdown.
‘Even when things get tough during isolation, maintaining a calm and positive mind will help you to focus on the solutions to any issues,’ Jono said.
‘Stress can have detrimental effects on the body and mind. Don’t be afraid to ask for help either.’

Jono told Daily Mail Australia earlier this month meanwhile, that he believes high-intensity training (HIIT) is the best form of exercise for weightloss.
He also said at the time that keeping in shape with walks or something physical is also a good idea.
Jono’s top priority is helping his clients feel good about themselves.
The Men’s Health trainer suggests that clients take regular selfies to keep track of their weight loss. A Fitbit or Apple Watch is helpful for monitoring progress as well.
The Colombian-born former soccer player has trained the likes of celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton and Bachelor star Matty Johnson.
As of Thursday afternoon in Australia, there are 2,725 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 12 deaths.
