Wes Streeting teams up with Joe Wicks to keep kids fit

An animated character of online fitness coach Joe Wicks has been launched in a bid to keep children fit over the summer holidays.

The Body Coach’s new animated persona talks children through exercises including jogging, squats and burpees in five-minute clips, which will be released via his YouTube channel.

Wicks said the Government-backed Activate project aims to “make movement fun”.
