The return of 'PE with Joe' classes for third national lockdown announced by Joe Wicks

PE with Joe exercise classes are returning as the UK enters another national lockdown says Joe Wicks.

The fitness expert 34, will be there to entertain and inspire young children after Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed the closure of schools nationwide on Monday reports the Mirror.

On his Instagram account, the Bodycoach posted: "I've got some great news, I've decided I need to come back and be there for children during this time, through this lockdown when schools are closed to keep their exercise up, to keep their activities there, their energy, their mood, their mental health.

“I'm going to be doing PE with Joe live, three days a week Monday, Wednesday, Friday starting next week on the 11th.”

Joe went on to encourage his followers to spread the message in a bid to spread some positivity in such unprecedented times.

The sessions will kick off on his YouTube channel from Monday, January 11.

They will consist of 20-minute workouts for three mornings a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

He added: “Children at home, they're not being as active. Their mental health is going to suffer and we need to be getting our kids moving.”

It comes after Joe was praised as Children In Need hero after he raised over £2million with his 24-hour PE challenge. He was also given a special award for his effort in aiming to keep the nation’s spirits up.
