Joe Wicks is back with PE lessons for kids during lockdown - here’s how to take part

Schoolchildren have now been asked to stay home, as the UK Government takes extreme measures to bring coronavirus numbers down.

With the cold weather making it difficult to get outdoors and exercise, Joe Wicks has sprung back into action with his online PE classes for kids and adults.

He launched his free online morning workouts in April during the initial lockdown, and now everyone can take part again, as he relaunched them on 11 January.

This is how you can get involved.

Who is Joe Wicks?

The English fitness coach is famous for his approach to exercise and nutrition,having written books on how to create family-friendly quick meals at home and work out effectively in limited time.

Also known as The Body CoachCoach’, the 34-year-old has been made an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list for his efforts at keeping kids active in lockdown.

He is known for his ‘HIIT’ (High Intensity Interval Training) approach which involves a short burst of intense exercise coupled with a short period of rest.

However, this might not be suitable for everyone, so he also offers workouts for beginners and seniors too.

What do his online classes involve?

Joe runs classes on the online platform Youtube, and restarted them on 11 January at 9am.
