"Before lockdown, I basically did no exercise, nothing whatsoever," says Vanessa Taylor, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester."Now, I do it every day apart from Sunday."
Wicks' first workout began in late March, just hours before Boris Johnson went on to tell the UK it was entering lockdown. Schools had already closed and the sessions were billed as"PE with Joe".Listen: Joe Wicks on Desert Island Discs Irene does the workouts in the morning - often at 5am before going to work in a school."It makes me feel so good," she says."I don't always want to do it. It just gives me an energy boost and endorphins.The feel-good factor is also the main benefit for her, she says - but she is also fitter.
Joe Wicks' workout was put on in the home's newly-installed smart TV - attracting the attention of the staff and the residents. "Some of them are doing full press ups. I think it's good for stamina, focus and it's brought a sense of fun into the classroom. It's made the transition into full-time easier."Teacher Faye Hill dressed up as Joe Wicks for one of the fancy dress fitness sessions he ran
Although her children no longer take part in the full workouts, they still look out for their favourite moves and the non-physical parts."It's nice as it gives us something you can all do and all access. It doesn't discriminate. You can do as much or as little as you like."Kerry, who also runs, said when lockdown started she thought"how am I going to get through this"

👏👏👏
BBCScotlandNews My son and I are really grateful for all the time he has dedicated to doing this. We had a teary departure today. Thank you Joe and doppelganger Nicky !!!
greg_jenner Is this 'news' anything to do with his new podcast on the BBCSounds app?
I feel that maybe Joe should be given a Knighthood, he has inspired a whole nation in its darkest hours but most of all he has helped maintain a whole generation of youngsters health. lockdown would have been awful for all these kids without Joe, I feel we owe him big time!
Who's Joe?
Lovely to hear you have found exercise. And it need not stop tomorrow. Lots of fitness vids on youtube long before Joe Wicks lockdown. And i'll say this quietly not to cause offence to his fans, they other workouts are better.
100% Bull Shit
How many watched because they fancied him? Like when Tom Hardy reads a bedtime story and all the mums get excited, comments sections full of pervy comments. Apparently sexual objectification's fine if you're a woman.
Not missed a day, including days when he isn’t even on. I’m the fittest I’ve been in many years thank to Joe!
Who is he, that DIY guy?
He’s done a great job although I had to have 6 weeks off running as did my knee in jumping around pretending to be a bunny etc! 🤦♀️
now this is comedy. and his bank balance is bigger hes no fitness savior lol
