Day 1 | 7 Days of Sweat Challenge 2020 

I'm not here because I have to be. Not because my school says. Not because my family says. I am here because I want to feel positive and good about myself and proud. Thank you!

No one’s MAKING me do this for PE - I’m here because you’re so right Joe, it makes such a difference to my stress levels and the way I approach the day. Thanks for all you do - please keep doing it!

I have Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety and Depression, if I start my day with one of your workouts the rest of my day is so much better! Thankyou Joe, you’re part of my therapy 👌👍💪

So pleased to have discovered The Body Coach. 62 years old. Usually go once a week to the gym. I started PE with Joe with my granddaughter and am now working my way through the videos. So enjoying them. Feel fitter. Great way to spend lockdown! Thanks Joe

Currently on lockdown in Italy with no gym to go to and morale is low everywhere. This workout was a great boost to my day. Thank you Joe

I've been doing your exercises since March and love them. I'm 70, feel so much fitter, can beat my husband up hill now! Started with your kids sessions, they were a real source of motivation and happiness at a difficult time of lockdown. You truly deserve your MBE. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

We were given this as P.E homework due to our school being closed down

Just done day 1 of sweat challenge and am sweating!! I’ve been doing Joe’s workouts for about 4 months now and can really feel the difference! I can now do mountain climbers and burpees without stopping or gasping…..I’m 64 and am delighted I can get fitter every day even at this age! Thank you! 😂👍💕

To think that ten months ago I had brain surgery and had to learn how to walk again and now I just got better with each round finishing with the most reps per time in the fourth round. This just showed me, that working out with your videos consistently really brings results! Thank you Joe, you really helped me get fit again!

This is how I started my fitness journey and every now and then when things get hard to handle or I can't get back into being fresh and active I always find myself coming back here to jumpstart my physical activity. This specific series has gotten me so far in my weight loss journey and I can't wait to see where I end up next!

I love that you started this workout series with 'measure your happiness' 'let it be about mental health'! Every time I start something it was generally about a holiday goal, bikini body, body confidence for a special event but doing it for my mental health is something I want to achieve more! Thank you for reminding me 💜

Your comment about how completing a workout helps you be better equipped to deal with challenges has really resonated with me. Taking just 20 minutes out of your day not only maintains my health and fitness but activates my mind. 🤓 Thank you Joe!

Joe, as an avid supporter of quality exercise, diet and relaxation for our young people, I feel slightly embarrassed that it’s only in the last few days that I’ve taken time out to try some of your HIIT routines. Not only are they straightforward but your motivational and thoughtful feedback throughout the routines is what stands out for me - anything that inspires people to understand the importance of making time to be active each day is hugely worthwhile to society in general and you are clearly absolutely smashing it. I’m wholeheartedly encouraging my whole school community to watch you at 0900 GMT on Monday 23/03 - whether in our school or at home - as a way to bring everyone together in a healthy and positive experience. I’m also going to start spreading the word about your routines for older people who will need it more than ever. Thank you for all you are doing 🙏

DOING IT FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH!!!

Hi, I'm stuck indoors due to the lockdown in Milan. It's great to get a break from having to work online hunched over a laptop.

First time with Joe even though I'm a 66 year old grandmother I coped. Thank you.

Love your 7 days of sweat challenges, I waste too much time trying to choose which workout I want to do (and too often choosing one I know I find easier). Your enthusiasm is infectious and I was laughing away while doing round 3 burpees. Thank you Joe for being so committed even while away with your lovely family. X

Thank you Joe, I'm almost 60 and I tried and completed your first routine this evening, BRILLIANT, it got me sweating for the first time in a long time. Your time and effort are really appreciated, again, thank you.

Having felt pretty low over the last few days, I pushed and pushed through this and already feel the benefits, Thanks Joe

I’m a small person and have next to no muscle due to a medical condition but joe wicks motivates me so much and I can’t thank him enjoy for getting up and exercising. I’ve only just started but the motivation this guy gives is incredible

Joe, I've been an avid watcher of your Insta and today is the day I finally moved. Day 1 of 7 days of sweat. Thank you, Joe, you're remarkable.

feeling low this monday morning. Thanks for the encouragement. No i do not regret ever doing one of these .

Going to start this tomorrow morning! Focussing my energy on getting fit rather than panic buying toilet roll!!

Hey Joe, thanks so much for all you're doing for the physical and mental health of the world during these difficult times ❤ I'm 63 and currently in strict lockdown in Spain, I couldn't keep up with you but did most, I started with your 10 min seniors. So it's great you can appeal to all ages. Keep going and stay safe 🙏🌈🙏🌈🙏

Just started doing your workouts as trying to eat healthy to, can’t also believe how your workouts have help my stress levels & mental health. Big thank you too you 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much!! Trying to keep the nation, fit, healthy and happy amongst this horrible pandemic we are all stuck in. Doing your work outs are helping with my focus and mental health so much, so thank you!

With everything going on at the moment this is a brilliant way to start the day !! 😀👊💪

Joe thank you so much for your motivation, and amazing contribution to the NHS. We are lucky to have you.

I see your workouts have been shared with many students during this time in self isolation. I am a teacher in Vancouver Canada and mine are going to join in next week when we start our online learning. Love your attitude! Thank you for inspiring everyone to stay well.

Thanks so much Joe for supporting the children/all of us even, across the nation/world. It made me cry

Because my school is on lockdown they gave us a link to your RU-vid channel and not gonna lie for ages I had tried to lose weight but I gave up and since I’ve been doing your videos in the morning not only am I happy in my own body I am also a lot happier thank you joe❤️

Thank you Joe, I have kids and you have got through tough mental times!! Can't thank you enough.

Just started this from lockdown on my husbands lunch break. A lot of Joe in our house at the moment with his 9am PEwithJoe workout with my two year old. Exercise is...and that is what I love.

True Mr Motivator! Thank you. Love your energy and constant words of encouragement throughout. Certainly keeps me going. I’m on month 2 of daily workouts. Still find them hard but I think it’s because I’m pushing myself a bit more each day. Little Steps = Big Results! Thank you Joe.

Just started this during quarantine, keeping me motivated while not being able to get to the gym😊 thanks joe your motivation during these videos is helping me keep fit💪

Just completed the Day 1 of 7 days of sweat and guess what I am sweating. Thanks Joe. Started with PE with Joe with the Kids back in March. Since then I have lost over 15kgs but as you keep saying it not the weight loss but how you feel. I can honestly say that I have never felt better than I do now, so much energy and so positive. Keep spreading the message Joe, we love you!

Now pe with joe finished I am on to this 😁 going to work my way through all your home workouts feeling toned and mummy belly on it's way out thank u so much

I've never felt as low as today, I usually meditate daily& haven't for 4 days... that's bad for me, seeing THIS, and attempting it at WHATEVER level you can, even if that's SEATED!!! MAKES you feel better. THANKYOU🙏🏻as I now feel a million dollars, I'm ready to meditate and take on the day! What your giving people through this....DRS can't even prescribe!!! Truly thanks from the bottom of my heart!

I only starting exercising a couple of months ago but haven't done anything in over 5 weeks. Was worried about getting back into it so thought I'd start with a short workout. I couldn't do some of the trickier exercises but I tried them all each time and will keep trying for the other 6 videos. Thank you

FANtastic, thanks Joe, for your unwavering commitment to these workouts, Ive been following you for years and appreciate the consistency.

This has made me feel good, so gonna hop on my road bike for half an hour. Thank you.

I'm here. Almost every day. Keep the vids coming. I add a 30-45 minute weightlifting session before or after on most of the days and I've never felt better. Thanks Joe.

After doing PE with Joe, I’m really e hosting staying fit and healthy with your workouts. Thank you so much!

Lula and Berta from Barcelona, we practice everyday with our mom and dad. And we enjoy this soo much

I’m a teacher in Spain and we are on lock down! I’m overweight but fairly active and very social. I’m eating healthy but worried about the impact lockdown will have on my health and mental health. I’m going to follow your workout everyday and comment everyday! I love how you interact with us e.g. do the last one together you’re amazing, thank you for the videos. Btw I’m also an ex St Mary’s student I worked the ref during my degree and I did my PGCE there.

Doing this in January 2021. Working my way through these videos. One workout a day. Thank you for all your hard work Joe!

Looks like I’m one of the many people that has to do this as pe homework

My husband and I been doing all your PE with Joe work outs and others as well making the recipes in your books - its made such a difference whilst we've been shielding and haven't left the house, we'd be going crazy otherwise. Thanks so much!

Now that gyms are closed in the UK your channel will see me through, I need exercise for my mental health so thank you 😁

You're amazing Joe. lLove your energy and your workouts. Doing them almost every morning (6!) to start day for months now. And I'm a 52 year old with osteoarthritis in hip that needs replacing! Thank you so so much! xx

You have made my days so much better. Once I've done my workout, I'm set for the day. Thank you x

Yes Joe. Thank you. You do motivate me. I did swap a few moves for climbing the rope and running on the spot xx

Feeling great. Good start of first day of march.

For being all day at home, it is nice to change something in my boring routine. As not a sporty person, with this will push myself to feel happy about myself. Thanks Joe

first day self isolation brilliant start, really needed this did not realise how unfit i was, going to like this each day

Trying out a whole variety of your workouts and despite not wanting to do them everyday I genuinely feel so much better after and have way more energy! Thank you

Loving this so much - great when I'm feeling unmotivated and need a kick in the right direction to move !

Perfect! I’m doing this at the same time as my friend. Something we can enjoy together without having to be together physically. Thank you!

Has done the first 7 days of sweat a month ago, doing this one now. Self isolating under legal quartantine. No excuses now:

Thanks Joe you are very encouraging and supportive. Good on ya !

mate loving this from Johannesburg this morning!

Truth! Physical well being helps my mental outlook like nothing else.

Thank you for my quarantine workout - oh i needed that

I did this challenge during the first UK lockdown, and overtime when I stop working out for a bit or find myself loosing motivation, I come back here and do this challenge again. It remains one of the best workout challenges to me because it's motivating and achievable but still a challenge, while also providing very noticeable results before even reaching day 7 which always motivates me further! Thank you Joe!

this has kept me energised while on lockdown

Thanks Joe. Quads fired up for the morning 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

I went to see Joe in London a few months ago, I high fived him🖐

Thanks Joe - great start to day 4 of lockdown in the UK! Will be tuning in every day from now on to get my daily exercise.

Who is watching this while sitting on bed and figuring out that you'll do it afterwards 😂? (And yeah am I the only one who hasn't come here because of school)

Really been struggling during this lockdown with stress and financial pressures but have to say these workouts are really giving me a focus and helping me to feel genuinely better. Just completed the 7 day beginner workout series and now onto these! Thank you so much Joe 👏🏼

My school is going to ruin my recommended

You have absolutely motivated me with the simple non complicated exercise regime you do that doesn’t feel like an obligation or a heavy burden ... especially the down to earth natural way you communicate with us 🥰😍 full of positive energy like sunshine in the morning 🌞

Great - didn't want as much rest though so did an extra 10 seconds on each move to make it 40 on 20 off x

My second time doing this particular challenge. As a subscriber, always enjoy the positive, quick videos that I can fit in anywhere. Thanks for continued videos!

This has really kept me positive and healthy during the lockdown pandemic

This is amazing. Totally wasn’t feeling it at first, but now that I’ve done I feel absolutely unstoppable. Thank you for your light and positivity

Everybody else: Body Coach: I wrote my work out on a dirty nappy.

Love your positivity Joe! Great to get the body moving no matter the level of fitness. Thank you for sharing

Me and the boys watching the video but forgetting to actually do the workout

This series is my go to for repeats.. your encouragement and humour and the emphasis on mental health is an absolute winner..this and the workout you did with Louis Theroux.. I have the app too but thanks so much for all the free content, supporting me through bereavements and life's challenges. Take care and best wishes ongoing xx

Lmaoooo well my school shut down again so look where we are 🥰

Thanks Joe for giving me focus during this very strange time.. and of course while the gym is closed!!

One of my favourite ever workouts! So quick and gets you sweaty and happy every time!

Who else is here because ur school made u do it while ur on lockdown

Hi Joe, I've been doing workouts with you since lockdown in March and they keep my blood pressure normal . They also make me feel fabulous to start the day! xx Thanks so much coz you make them fun and you make me smile.

Everybody else: 😩 sweating Joe: I'm just gonna wipe my face with a nappy😝

The nappy notebook... JUST BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA Great workout too JOE!

I wonder if those PE students actually does the workout😂 Including myself ^o^ EDIT: thx to *school* for giving us a 20-min workout for our more-than-one-hour PE lesson👌🏻

Thanks for these workouts, they're really benefiting me whilst being on lock down, and 20 mins doesn't interrupt me working from home whilst keeping me motivated.

Who else had this assigned for school but just watched the video and pretended it happened

Missed PE with Joe so decided to do this on the weekend. Thanks so much Joe - really helping with not feeling anxious right now and plus lovely weather to sit out in the garden and have quality time with my husband and 15 month old son Jackson means today is a good day! Love and blessings to you and your lovely family x

This video is probably going to get a drastic increase in views thanks to the homeschooling and the virus, am I right?

Thanks Joe. Kids and I have rainy days ahead on Sunshine Coast QLD so committed to your 7 days of sweat to keep us moving.

'you always feel better after a workout, that's a fact' Me during the workout: "shut up Joe, I feel like s*** and everything is garbage" Me 30 minutes later: ".... He was right..."

Just to say had a hip replacement end of February and started your beginners hit mid May as I love my fitness.Am stepping up classes now.Its been brilliant for me so thank you Joe .

Hi Joe - 55 year old women from Kent here! Tier 4 and terrible weather, not at all motivated to exercise... but, I've found your 7 day sweat challenge and I'm on it!! For this week running up to Christmas, just perfect!! Thank you so much for doing these videos; for free! So inspiring. BIG thank you.

Got covid about 6 months ago and I'm finally feeling well enough to exercise again. Day 1 of getting back to it, thanks for the motivation Joe!

Started with your PE but needed something different. I'm a regular gym go-er and discovering your videos is helping hugely with lockdown, not least because for me exercise has always been about mind body & soul. Thank you x

Joe, you're a superstar! Week zzzzz of lockdown and a weary tiredness setting in. This gets me out of bed in the morning and I always feel energised and focused afterwards! Thank you so much x
