If you’re looking to start exercising but are pushed for time and the thought of stepping inside a gym makes you feel physically sick, then you need to introduce Joe Wicks’ workouts into your life.
Since 2014, the dad-of-two has transformed millions of people’s lives through his free workout, nutrition advice and cook books, not forgetting he also kept us (and our children) physically active and mentally sane throughout the lockdowns.
Joe Wicks’ workouts focus on high intensity interval training (HIIT), which is where you do lots of interval exercises over a short period of time with little recovery. For example, your whole workout may be 20 minutes and within that time frame you do four rounds of five exercises for 40 seconds each with a 20 second rest period. It’s a brilliant form of exercise for burning lots of calories in a short space of time and one study has even revealed that HIIT can burn up to 30 percent more calories than resistance training.
We’ve rounded up some of The Body Coaches best workout videos for all abilities. Whether you’re a mum, soon-to-be or have just given birth, there’s a Joe Wicks workout for you.
