I\u2019m winning just by being here and changing my lifestyle, mentally and physically. One of the things I hope is that I can be an inspiration to so many people who say, \u2018Oh, I don\u2019t have time.

In one video, back on August 20, he filmed himself walking on a treadmill while discussing how he stays in shape. \u201cI get asked all the time how I got in such good shape. No. 1 is diet. No. 2 is this,\u201d Jon says in the clip. \u201cGet on the treadmill. Incline 15. Speed 2-3mph. It\u2019ll melt the fat off your body. Do it, do it, do it. Yeah!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">When Jon shared the news of his win in the competition on Instagram, fans shared supportive messages in the comments section. &#8220;Damn!
