Joe Wicks PE lessons for kids off school during coronavirus pandemic

The Body Coach Joe Wicks will be holding live PE lessons from Monday on his YouTube channel for kids who are off school during the coronavirus crisis.

With schools across Britain closing today under government advice, the fitness expert wants to become the ‘nation’s PE teacher’.

The 33-year-old, who is a dad himself, will host 30 minute workout sessions aimed at children of all ages, from ‘little kids right up to secondary school’.

Announcing the news on Twitter, Joe said the workouts will begin this Monday at 9am, on his YouTube channel and said you don’t need much room to do the workouts.

He 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 schools 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."
