How to keep the children busy

Get the kids out from under your feet with these peace-inducing distractions, says Nicole Garcia Merida

Take a PE lesson

Since launching last month “PE With Joe” has amassed 32 million streams on YouTube, says Mel Evans in Metro, as families welcome the celebrity fitness trainer into their living rooms to keep them fit during the pandemic. Joe Wicks (pictured), also known as The Body Coach, is hosting free workouts aimed at children live on his YouTube channel. No equipment is necessary, just tune in for a 30-minute workout at 9am Mondays through Fridays, says Victoria Woollaston in Wired. If you have a smart TV, Chromecast or Amazon Fire, or a set-top box with the YouTube channel, you can stream the videos to your living room through your TV. Otherwise, use a smartphone or tablet. All workouts are also available on the Youtube channel later if you’re not an early bird.
