Fitness guru Joe Wicks energised festival-goers to set them up for an "amazing day of dancing" as he led the first-ever high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout at Glastonbury. Taking the stage at The Gateway on Friday at midday, the 37-year-old Body Coach guided thousands through a warm-up and a 25-minute workout.
Before taking to the stage, he told the PA news agency, "I love this. This is my favorite thing to do, live events, and especially bringing people of all different ages together for exercise, so I'm hoping that we get everyone moving, get the old star jumps going, and then they all leave with a big smile on their face."
When asked about the participants who may have been indulging in the festival atmosphere for the past few days, Wicks replied, "Exercise, whatever mood you're in, always boosts your mood, it helps you feel calmer, a little bit less stress. So hopefully, everyone who is a bit hungover will walk away with a little bit more energy and everybody's going to have an amazing day dancing around the festival."
