Jonas: I have a fitness Ritual!

-

JONAS Blue has revealed a scary fight with coronaviru­s spurred on his fitness transforma­tion.

The Ritual hitmaker revealed he suffered badly with the virus over the festive period and it opened his eyes to living a healthier lifestyle.

Jonas told me: “I caught it over Christmas. It was actually my second time as well, having had it the first time when I was on tour.

“But the one at Christmas, it was definitely worrying – like with any kind of illness, it was worrying.

“I am one of those people that, touch wood, are never ill as well but the second time I had

Covid it was like I couldn’t even see it getting any better over several days.

“And actually I got quite worried at one point.” When he did slowly start to recover, Jonas was left with a new love for his life.

The producer added: “It started to pick up and I started to get back to normal and I felt even more grateful to be in this position where I’m just back to normal and making music.

“I lost my grandma during that time and it was a really tough start to the year for me.”

Jonas wanted to feel at the peak of his fitness once again so he kickstarte­d his workouts.

The Brit added: “I was doing bodybuildi­ng, training and fitness modelling before I started, but I hadn’t done it for about six years.

“But having this time at home, I just thought, ‘Now is the time, the nutrition has to be right, the training has to be right.’ I just wanted to feel like that again.”

Now the DJ is looking fitter than ever years of touring taking its toll.

He added: “I had to work off the damages of six years of touring.

“That’s essentiall­y what it was and I have a gym at home so I really have no excuses.”

Jonas’s latest song Hear Me Say featuring Léon is out now. after
