Joe Wicks live YouTube PE lessons for kids start today

Body Coach Joe Wicks has revealed he will be putting on live PE lessons online while kids are off school due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 33-year-old fitness guru said that now all schools in Britain will be closed after today, he was going to become the 'nation's PE teacher' with his live-streamed lessons.

Making the 'exciting announcement' on Twitter, he promised to lead a series of classes geared specifically for kids to make sure they get exercise during the school closures.

He explained that each of the 30 minute workout sessions are aimed at children of all ages, from 'little kids right up to secondary school'.

The workouts will start on Monday at 9am and will be held every weekday, streaming live from his YouTube channel.

 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 schools are closed there is no PE. Don't worry, I've got you. I'm going to take this over.

He added: "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."
