How incredible is this?
Body Coach Joe Wicks has heaped praise on an inspirational Northern Ireland couple after they got in touch to say they do his exercises regularly – at 94 and 88 years old!
The TV star and celebrity fitness coach, who rose to fame with his lockdown PE classes during the pandemic, took to social media after receiving a “beautiful and inspiring email” from Irvine and Rosie from Co Down, and adding: “How incredible is this?”
It read: “At 94 and 88 years old we do your exercises regularly. They are great and we just want to thank Joe SO much!
“We live in Co Down, N Ireland and usually set up the iPad and go through Joe’s exercises three or four times a week (but only one set!). It was during Covid that we discovered these great ideas for keeping fit and we have rated them highly ever since! Normally we do our exercise late afternoon or evening.
“We really do feel the benefit after doing them. I notice the blood circulation is buzzing afterwards! Irvine usually checks his heart rate and oxygen on his little monitor and is always impressed with the good result.”
They added: “We think that we need to keep moving at the grand old age of Irvine’s 94 years and my coming up to 88 years in August. We also have 4 lovely daughters (and 5 grandchildren) with whom we have fun and who spoil us completely!
“We also make a point of walking for 10 or 20 minutes each day, and each day I make a big salad for lunch and I call it our repair kit! Please give Joe a big thank you from us! We are so grateful to him!”
