Joe Wicks reveals new UK schools tour for 2023

The Body Coach, 37, is bringing his 'PE with Joe' tour back to schools and aims to exercise with over 10,000 kids

Burpees and squats are back as fitness guru Joe Wicks reveals he's doing a NEW tour of UK schools.

Joe, 37, who made his name as The Body Coach and then kept ALL parents going through lockdown with his daily workouts on Youtube , told fans he was taking his 'Schools tour' back on the road – and it starts next month.

Joe and wife Rosie are parents to daughters Indie, 5, and Leni, 7 months, as well as son Marley, 4.

While Joe's been sharing all on his latest adventure to the US, he took to Insta to delight fans with news of a visit closer to home and to make the big announcement.

Revealing that he was 'so excited' to get kids interested in fitness, Joe told fans he was hoping to visit as many schools as he could between 22-26 May.

In that time, Joe says he hopes to 'meet and exercise with over 10,000 kids across the UK'.

'I can't wait to meet some of you 💙'

'BIG ANNOUNCEMENT,' the star announced on his Instagram. 'So excited to announce that I’m going back on the road for another UK Schools Tour ☺️.

'I’m continuing on my mission to get more kids moving and learning about the incredible benefits of movement & exercise, and I’m taking my Schools Tour back on the road next month.'

'I’m going to travel around the UK visiting as many schools as I can in a week.

'My goal is to meet and exercise with over 10,000 kids across the UK between May 22nd and 26th 2023.'

The fitness expert then told fans he would happily take requests for school visits, following it up by saying:

'I can't wait to meet some of you 💙.'

PE with Joe, the daily PE sessions he set up during lockdown in 2020, ran from March to July 2020, before Joe reprised the sessions in January 2021.

'Astonishing pic'

Just a few days ago, Joe shared a controversial photo of his youngest child – baby daughter Leni – which caused division among fans.

Posting a photo of the tot hanging off a set of bars on a California beach, Joe's fans were stunned and even questioned if the image was real.

'Is the first pics photoshopped??,' wrote 1 fan, while another called it 'amazing':

'That first picture of Leni is amazing!!! You need to recreate that every year!!! ❤️'

'Gorgeous pics Joe👍 Baby’s natural reaction is to hold on tight, they all do it don’t they?,' wrote a third.

'So stupid to do it with a baby'

However, others were less impressed.

'Is that safe for her shoulders and joints to hang onto bars supporting her own weight like that?' queried one fan.

'The first picture is impressive for a girl her age, but is it actually safe for her joints and Ligaments? given how young she is here,' said a second.

Meanwhile, another follower wrote:

'So stupid to do it with baby…'.

What do the experts say?

We spoke to soft tissue therapist Greg Pritchard from clinic State 11, who explained the science behind Leni's weight-bearing prowess to us:

'Joe Wicks' baby is able to hold onto the bar and support her weight due to a baby reflex called the palmar grasp. If something is pressed into a baby’s palm, the baby can grip it incredibly strongly,' he explained.

'A baby is able to support their own weight for a short period of time, and confidence with the palmar grasp has been linked to confidence with sports later on in life,' he said, adding that 'obviously care should be taken and the baby monitored during any activity like this.'

Joe Wicks is putting on PE classes for kids during school closures

The fitness guru is stepping in to keep kids active – and he’s being hailed for it on social media

Friend of The Big Issue Joe Wicks is about to become the “nation’s PE teacher” for kids across the UK who are stuck at home as the result of school closures.

It’s going to be tough to make the ‘I forget my kit’ excuse wash when Wicks brings PE classes to kids with a livestreamed half-hour session taking place on his YouTube account from 9am on the dot on Monday March 23.

😀 PE WITH JOE starting Monday morning at 9am on my YOUTUBE channel: The Body Coach TV 📺 Please please share this with as many people as you can ❤️ Our kids need this more than ever. Share it on your stories, your wall, your Twitter, whatsapp and school newsletters ❤️ pic.twitter.com/ioFGeFRpuK — Joe Wicks (@thebodycoach) March 19, 2020

Wicks has been trending on Twitter throughout Thursday after he told his 311,000 followers of his plans. He said: “Starting Monday, every single day from Monday to Friday, I’m going to be doing a live workout called PE with Joe on my YouTube channel.  It’s a workout specifically designed for kids because when the schools are closed, there is no PE.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got you, I’m going to take this over. I’m going to get your kids moving, energised, optimistic so tune in. I am going to be the nation’s PE teacher.”

And the idea has certainly lifted the coronavirus gloom for many with the original post being liked almost 9,000 times on Twitter at the time of writing.

Parents with children off school next week, have a look at this! PE with Joe Wicks, starting on Monday, 9am on YouTube. https://t.co/xRTtnjR5l9 — St Christopher Primary (@StChrisPrimary) March 19, 2020
