This is a really special moment for me ❤️

I’ve spent the past 8 years visiting schools, leading workouts for kids, and doing everything I can to get children moving and feeling good. From school tours to PE with Joe, I’ve seen how powerful a bit of movement can be - not just for physical health, but for confidence, mood, and mental wellbeing.

Now, after more than 2 years of love, energy and hard work, I’m so proud to finally share something brand new with you…

It’s called Activate 🎉

Activate is a FREE animated workout series designed to get kids moving, laughing and having fun this summer — and beyond.

You’ll meet my Activator gang and dance to amazing music powered by @umusicuk, and feel the joy that comes from moving your body.

This has been created in partnership with the amazing team at @studioaka (the legends behind Hey Duggee) and supported by @dhscgovuk @educationgovuk and @dcmsgovuk to help make movement more accessible for all families and schools across the country.

🎬 The first episode is LIVE now on my YouTube channel — hit the link in my bio to check it out and get your little ones moving with us.

Please share it, tag your videos with #ActivateWithJoe, and let’s spread the joy of movement to as many kids as we can 🙌

Let’s get the next generation moving ❤️
