  With the schools closed and with us all spending more time at home, it's more important than ever that we keep moving and stay healthy and positive.
  
  Exercise is an amazing tool to help us feel happier, more energised, and more optimistic.  
  
  The workouts are fun and suitable for all ages and even adults can get involved. 
  
  You don't need any equipment, just tune in to his YouTube channel at 9am each morning for a 30-minute, fun workout. 
  
  
  You can subscribe to Joe's YouTube channel here.
