THE BODY COACH TV:
The one and only Joe Wicks has
really come into his own during
the last year and he deserves all
the recognition and success for his
dedication to keeping us all active
and talking about Mental Health
freely. Joe is someone I followed
prior to the PE with Joe success,
but more for healthy recipe tips.
However, once PE with Joe was
launched, I attempted to take part
in as many as I could and although
they were primarily aimed at school
children, the workouts were actually
really good and suitable for all! Since
then, Joe’s channel has picked up a
following (he had one before, but it’s
been elevated!) and there’s lots of
great content, aimed at everyone –
even seniors.
STRONG NATION:
If you’re looking to ramp up your
workout intensity, then this a good
place to start. Last year, I took part
in some zoom workout classes (paid
for classes) which were amazing
and one of them were STRONG
Nation inspired. These high intensity
workouts will warm you right up.
There are a range of videos, featuring
30-minute full body workouts or a
shorter 7 minute one for abs and
core. I’ve tried some of these at home
and you feel great after.
When googling the words ‘free
online workouts’ there are a wealth
of website returns. One of the first
websites to pop up is the Sport
England website and when you click
through there’s a link to content to
help you get active at home. What
I love about this, is that it is broken
down into sections depending
on who’s working out or what
you’re wanting to work out. Under
each of the categories, are lists of
organisations, individuals and the
like who offer home workouts – both
free and paid. Those that offer free
resources include:
NIKE TRAINING CLUB – nike.com/gb/
ntc-app
POPSUGAR FITNESS – Youtube
channel
NHS HOME WORKOUTS – nhs.uk/
better-health/get-active/homeworkout-videos
COSMIC KIDS YOGA – Youtube
channel
DISNEY WORKOUTS – thisgirlcan.
co.uk/activities/Disney-workouts
MOVE IT OR LOSE IT UK – Youtube
channel
I think it’s safe to say, that if you’re
looking for it, there is plenty to be
found. It might take some trial and
error finding the right workouts for
you but there is plenty of diverse, fun
or results yielding exercises out there.
Here’s to a healthy and happy 2021.
