Joe Wicks and Chris Hemsworth work-outs to get you fit at home during lockdown


Joe Wicks’ inspired weekday workouts have captured the imagination of primary school kids across the nation – Superman lunge anyone!?

But keeping fit at home during the coronavirus crisis is not just for youngsters, you know.

Swap your pyjamas for a tracksuit and give your mind and body a boost with a living room workout.

Just move the table out of the way, and mind your arms on that smashable light fitting (yes, we speak from experience).

Here we round up some of the best we’ve found so you can get sweaty and healthier in your own home – with or without your dressing gown on.

Cosmic Kids Yoga

The world’s kids are joining the nation’s newly appointed PE teacher, hunky Joe Wicks, for daily star jumps (and listening to him brag about how many people watch!).

But for something rather more zen, Cosmic Kids Yoga teaches the ancient Indian practice to sprogs, through stories they’ll probably know, such as Frozen, Bear Hunt and Trolls. Namaste, small people. Click here
