The personal trainer added a lengthy caption which was aimed at youngsters.
‘Boys, you don’t need to like sport. If you’re passionate about fashion or makeup, then follow it. It doesn’t make you any less masculine.
‘Girls, there is no such thing as a “man’s job”. You can be, do and have WHATEVER you want in your life. You’re only restricted by your imagination.’

Michael continued: ‘Failures and mistakes are going to happen EVERY DAY! They are good… why? Because they are an opportunity to learn and improve.
‘Be scared and act anyway. You’ll never know what you can truly achieve if you don’t take risks in life.’
The MAFS star added: ‘Crying doesn’t make you weak. Being able to express your emotions is super important to being healthy… and it’s a sign of how brave you are.
‘Those YouTubers, TikTokers and Instagrammers you follow… they didn’t get to where they are overnight. If you want something you need to spend A LOT of time working on it!
