He rose to fame as the man who got the nation moving.
But Mr Motivator thinks that people now take criticism about their weight 'too personally', despite the fact levels of diabetes and obesity have 'gone through the roof'.
The fitness fanatic, 71, who featured on GMTV throughout the 1990s performing exercise routines, said back then you could 'prod' someone's belly and tell them they needed to shape up.
But today people are too sensitive about their size and complain that they have been fat-shamed if they're told to get in shape, he said.
Speaking on the Loose Ends podcast, he said in the body positivity era everyone believes they have the right 'to be any size you want to be'.
