Personal trainer Joe Wicks, aka The Body Coach, is well known for his best-selling recipe books 'Lean in 15' and 'Joe's 30-minute meals' and has earned a whopping 4.2 million followers on Instagram alone.
Joe became the nation's favourite PE teacher throughout the pandemic by offering live streamed workouts every weekday morning for kids and parents to stay active at home whilst self-isolating. Joe is less well-known for his seated exercise classes available for seniors.

Joe's 10 minute videos won't put too much stress on the joints and include low intensity exercises such as listing beans and gentle stretches.
