Not satisfied with keeping the nation fit during the pandemic when we couldn’t leave our homes, Joe Wicks is now trying to make history again. The fitness icon, also known as the Body Coach, gathered thousands to Hyde Park on Wednesday as he set out his aim: to break a world record. Joe hoped to host the biggest HIIT workout ever in London’s iconic park, which this weekend will host the Rolling Stones for BST.
This week, the dad-of-three burst onto the stage ready to lead the workout, dressed in a white t-shirt and khaki shorts, his trademark long hair tied back, as a thousands-strong crowd cheered him on. Should they be successful, Joe and the participants will have broken the Guinness World Record for the most people to participate in a HIIT class at once. (A record, notably, already held by Joe for the class he held in Hyde Park all the way back in 2017!)The event, sponsored by Lululemon, saw Joe lead the massive crowd in star jumps, high knees and more in the specialised workout.
A HIIT workout consists of short bouts of intense work lasting anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds, followed immediately by a period of active recovery of the same length or longer. It has not yet been confirmed whether Joe and the crowd broke the record for the most people participating in a HIIT workout, but it’s clear the fitness guru was in top form as he led the huge class. Taking to Instagram before the event, Joe thanked people for travelling to London and added: ‘t’s going to be super fun, we’re going to have the music playing.
