Try this incredible broccoli and pancetta carbonara 🥰👌🏼 Is this one a bit of you? #recipes #foodie #thebodycoach

Wow 🤩 Basil, mozzarella and chorizo stuffed chicken with creamy pesto pasta. You’ve charmed me 😍 I baked it in the oven on 180 degrees C for 30 mins and it came out perfectly. The pasta I just threw in a spoonful of pesto and cream cheese at the end. This recipe is a joke. So tasty and so easy. Fancy trying it? 😉 #thebodycoach #foodie #food #recipes

#ad Who would you write to? ✍️ As part of my podcast series, Health or Hype with @Bupa, I spent 24 hours in an isolated forest cabin, exploring the impact that spending time in nature can have on our mental wellbeing. The effects were quite profound. I had the time and space to put my feelings down on paper, and there was one person in particular I wanted to write to ❤️ Watch or listen now 🎧 Link in bio. [Description: Joe Wicks talks about the effects of slowing down in nature, as we see a montage of his time in the cabin and images of him and his wife, Rosie, as he writes a letter to her.]

This blew my mind 🤯 I was so shocked when I heard that having teeth removed because of tooth decay is the number one reason children aged 5 to 9 end up in hospital in England. Tooth decay is almost always preventable. Here’s what Colgate and the NHS are doing to help. @Colgateuk #ad

#ad Where would you rank spiders? 🕷️ I blind rank 10 situations that can be anxiety-inducing – without knowing what’s coming next. From mice to missed flights, see what makes its way to the top of my list. Watch or listen to the Anxiety episode of Health or Hype with @Bupa 🎧 Link in bio.

#ad Well… I wasn’t expecting THAT 😳 Apparently, you can learn quite a lot about yourself while you’re asleep… See what I discovered in the Sleep episode of Health or Hype with @Bupa 🎧 Link in bio.

#ad The things you do in the name of health… 🤔 I got acquainted with the Bristol Stool Chart while investigating the effects of my fibre fast. See what I discovered in Health or Hype with Bupa. Watch or listen now 🎧 Link in bio. [Description: Joe Wicks talks through the Bristol Stool Chart, showing the chart on screen and pointing out where his results from the fibre fast sit on it.]

This week I’m travelling around the UK visiting 12 schools across the country, aiming to exercise with almost 10,000 kids in person 💙 I do a schools tour every year and it’s the highlight of my year 🙌 In each school we do a workout together, a Q&A and talk about the importance of moving our bodies to live happier, healthier lives. Over 8000 schools applied for a visit this year and I wish I could visit them all. Which schools should I visit next? ☺️

#ad I’ve reviewed the footage. I may have been hungry. For the Food episode of Health or Hype with Bupa, I put fibre to the test by going on a three-day fibre fast, cutting down to just 10–15g a day to see what effect it had on me. Turns out, I spent quite a lot of it thinking about my next meal 😂 And a few other surprising findings.  Watch or listen now 🎧 Link in bio. [Description: A supercut of Joe Wicks saying he’s not hungry, followed by clips of him eating different foods.]

#ad Oink-redible scenes. I got back to nature for my new podcast series, Health or Hype with Bupa. I kicked off my shoes, plunged into a freezing freshwater river and even stopped for a quick chat with the local farm animals when the digital detox kicked in. Watch or listen to the Nature episode of Health or Hype now 🎧 [Description: A playful montage of Joe Wicks interacting with different farm animals during Health or Hype.]

#ad Headphones on… and enjoy nature’s soundtrack 🌿
 There’s a reason the sounds of nature can feel so relaxing. In the Nature episode of Health or Hype with Bupa, I got hooked up to a brain monitor to see what’s actually happening inside my head.

#ad Let it all out! 😱  I tested out some of the most common health tips, advice and trends for my new podcast with @Bupa, Health or Hype. In fact, I jumped straight in at the deep end: trying out ‘movement snacks’, getting over my fear of dancing and taking an ice-cold dip in a freshwater river to reset my senses.  Watch or listen now 🎧 Link in bio.

I caught a really special moment last night 🥰 I was cooking dinner and heard Marley playing the piano. It sounded so beautiful and not something I’ve ever heard so I snuck up on him to listen closer. It’s the first time I’ve heard him creating music and seen him in a pure state of calm. Something so beautiful to see. Cant wait to show you this when you get older Marley. You’re an amazing little boy ❤️

Merry Christmas from me and Dusty 💙

I was leaving the house with Indie and Marley this morning for a little jog around the block. Leni got upset when I said she couldn’t come because we run too fast for her to keep up. She said “ Daddy please take me, I can keep up I promise”. I couldn’t say no so I gave her chance. Well she proved me wrong 🤩 She managed to run 750m. Seeing her face light up like this has made my day. I really believe we are their biggest role models when it comes to exercise. We have to create as many opportunities as we can for them to move and we have to make it fun. We were only out for 10 minutes but it was enough. We all felt great after 😀 When she reached the gate of the house we jumped around and celebrated for her as if she just won the Olympic gold medal. Celebrating little moments like this reinforce a positive connection between movement, exercise and joy ❤️
