Coronavirus: Body Coach's Joe Wicks to hold live daily PE lessons for kids

The Body Coach Joe Wicks has announced he will be holding live daily PE lessons for kids to help keep children fit and healthy while they are not at school during the coronavirus pandemic.

Joe made his "exciting announcement" earlier today and said that with all schools now closed after today he was going to become the "nation's PE teacher".

The 30 minute workout sessions are aimed at "little kids right up to secondary school".

Joe vowed he would get children "moving, feeling energised, positive, optimistic."

Announcing the workouts which will start on Monday at 9am and will be held ever weekday, Joe said: "I'm going to do a live workout called 'PE With Joe' on my YouTube channel The Body CoachTV.

"It's a workout designed specifically for kids because when the school are closed there is no PE. Don't worry, I've got you. I'm going to take this over.

"I'm going to get your kids moving, feeling energised, positive, optimistic.

"So tune in Monday morning at 9am and every day.

"It's a 30 minute session for little kids right up to secondary school. Get involved, have fun.

"We're going to be doing loads of basic exercise.

"You don't need a lot of room. I'm going to take care of it. This is happening. I am going to be the nation's PE teacher."
