And then the very next week, MJ Day was like, 'Do you want to teach again?' I said, 'Sure, I’ll teach as many times as you want me to.' It was such an honor. So it was amazing because not only did Emily and I connect with each other as girlfriends, but we also connected with thousands of women from all over the world who joined us for this workout. Everyone wanted to feel connected somehow. The stay-at-home orders were in place and everyone wanted to move their bodies. She said, 'Do you want to join me for an workout on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit?' I fell off my stool in my kitchen. Scott: In March 2020, I was talking to my girlfriend Emily DiDonato, who has been part of Sports Illustrated for quite some time now. I really have the entire Sports Illustrated family to thank for that because there probably would have been a lot of days where I wouldn’t have been able to put one foot in front of the other. It really gave me a reason to spring out of bed every morning. During that time, I started working with Sports Illustrated and teaching classes. It was also one of the most transformative years. I feel 2020 was probably the darkest year for me, as well as for a lot of other people out there. Fox News: That’s remarkable because so many women go through the same painful journey and often struggle in silence.
