Joe has become a poster boy for keeping fit during the pandemic and even raised £200,000 for the NHS and over £1m for Children in Need in a 24 hour exercise challenge. But for us grown ups, Joe also shoots HIIT workouts on his YouTube channel The Body Coach TV, on a weekly basis. Suitable for everyone from beginners to experts and working in a circuit style with a number or moves, which you can do with body weight or dumbbells, to make the exercise harder or easier.
