The Body Coach Joe Wicks launched his first online PE class this morning which was watched by thousands of people.

Joe decided to help parents out with home schooling by launching a PE class this morning at 9am and it was a huge success.

Schools closed on Friday due to the coronavirus pandemic meaning children have to stay at home for the foreseeable future and the Body Coach was on hand to help with their first lesson.

I've been blown away I cannot believe the numbers there was 806,000 households so individual computers, TVs and laptops streaming that so you can only imagine how many millions of people just took part in that, and the views that are going to come afterwards has blown me away.
