Basingstoke resident Amanda Williams has insisted she will miss taking 30 minutes out for herself each morning to enjoy watching Joe Wicks workout live on YouTube.
As hundreds of thousands of people tuned in over the last few months to watch and exercise with their kids during the lockdown, audience figures have revealed it wasn’t just desperate parents that logged in to watch the workout, with women across the country sat patiently waiting for the session to begin at 9am.
Thirty-year-old Williams told us, “I actually started looking forward to Monday morning.
“You know, starting the week on the right foot – and in a world of social distancing that involves a nice hot chocolate, a couple of biscuits, and Joe Wicks spending 30 minutes demonstrating what great shape he’s in, to me personally – or so I liked to think.
“The great shape all of him is in. Every. Single. Bit.
“I could watch him doing squats all day long, but throw in a couple of press-ups with that perfect form of his and I am ready for action and the day ahead.
“Look, we all know the point of the live sessions was to get the nation’s heart rates going, so as far as I’m concerned it was a massive success. I think it’s fair to say I would end most of his sessions looking rather flushed in the face.
I am really going to miss the live shows, but of course I will be logging in to watch the repeats on YouTube. A girl’s got to get it where she can!”
