Fitness sensation Joe Wicks is set to revolutionise children's exercise with a brand-new animated series, Joe Wicks: Activate Your Mission to Move. The high-energy show, produced in collaboration with an award-winning animation studio, blends interactive workouts with a playful alien storyline to get kids moving.
A Galactic Fitness Adventure
In this innovative BBC series, Wicks transforms into a space-travelling coach who guides children through exciting workouts alongside a crew of friendly extraterrestrials. Each episode combines dynamic exercises with an engaging narrative, encouraging young viewers to jump, stretch, and squat their way through cosmic challenges.
Making Fitness Fun for Young Audiences
The 20-minute episodes feature:
- Age-appropriate HIIT workouts disguised as space missions
- Interactive alien characters who demonstrate movements
- Educational segments about health and nutrition
- Positive reinforcement techniques to build confidence
"We wanted to create something that didn't feel like exercise," Wicks explained. "By wrapping physical activity in this fun, story-driven format, kids won't even realise they're working out."
The Science Behind the Fun
Child development experts consulted on the series to ensure:
- Movements support motor skill development
- Workouts align with national physical education standards
- Content promotes body positivity
- Episodes maintain appropriate intensity levels
The show premieres this autumn on BBC iPlayer and CBBC, with accompanying resources available for schools and families.
