Joe Wicks has vowed to help keep the nation in shape as the UK prepares to head back into a second lockdown this week.
The Body Coach, 34, become something of a national hero when he offered up his service for free to complete daily workout sessions during lockdown.
His YouTube figures were through the roof at 70million views worldwide while he was batting off offers from BBC and Channel 4.
In fact, Joe was made MBE for helping children keep active and mentally fit with his workout clips.
And it seems as though he’s not done helping the nation just yet.
Taking to Instagram, Joe wrote: “Guess who’s back with ‘Wake Up With Joe’.
“I promised if we went back into a lockdown I would be here to help you get through it and I’m now committing to filming and sharing 3 new workouts a week until lockdown is over how ever long that takes.
“They will go live Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6am on my YouTube channel starting on Mon 9th.”
He went on: “This will not be LIVE workouts but pre-recorded short 15-minute energy and mood boosting workouts to help you stay fit and find some positivity, energy and help with your mental health.
“You can then choose to do the workouts at a time which suits you. I need this just as much as you.
“Our mental health is suffering but we can get through this lockdown together and come out stronger both physically and mentally. Will you join in with the workouts this month?”
Joe recently opened up about his daily PE sessions, admitting he felt “lost” without them once the first lockdown was over.
He said via Instagram stories: “I had so much purpose. I was driven and focused and I knew what I was doing – making people feel good. That’s when I’m at my happiest.
“Now that’s gone I feel confused and lost, but I know I’m going to regain my energy and get myself into a positive mindset.”
The dad admitted he had suffered a “flat few days” but he was already beginning to bounce back after working out again.
Joe was all everyone was talking about at the start of lockdown.
His gruelling P.E. sessions got the everyone talking about him and working out with him during the coronavirus pandemic.
So much so, Joe had to turn down offers from Channel 4 and BBC because he wanted to focus on his YouTube.
The P.E. guru was giving everything he could back to the NHS where possible after being “blown away” by the ad revenue on his videos.
