Despite becoming a trendsetter, Singh has been posting daily videos of his workouts online to encourage others to keep active during the lockdown.

Producing these short videos has also allowed Singh to combine two of his passions; sport and helping others.

His motto is ''help others and help yourselves'' and his aim is to inspire and teach people of all ages, faiths and abilities techniques to stay fit during the coronavirus pandemic and he's urged others to post similar videos.

He's determined to continue posting tutorials on his social media channels to provide people across the world with some respite from these unprecedented and worrying times.

Singh has been inspired by 99-year-old war veteran Tom Moore who&nbsp;has raised over $23 million&nbsp;for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden.
