Revealed: What does Joe Wicks actually eat in a day?

Question: How much exercise does Joe Wicks do each day? 

Answer: Sometimes I’m filming a lot of content so I’m doing more, but in an ideal week I just do one workout a day – 40 minutes, five days a week. And that could be a bike ride, it could be a spring session on the treadmill, a bodyweight workout, dumbbells. I don’t have any fixed structure to my training, I just see what I’m in the mood for that day and do it at that moment in time.  

Consistency’s the most important thing. I’m not super-motivated, I’m just very disciplined. And I know that if I don’t train, I’m not that great to be around. I feel stressed and tense, and I just need to let it out through exercise.  

Question: What is Joe Wicks’ go-to work out? 

Answer: I’d say a favourite workout would be to just set a timer: 40 seconds of work, 20 seconds of rest. Then I’ll do either a circuit or 25 different moves. I like the short, intense stuff where it’s in and out, because I get a massive boost of endorphins and I really feel great.  

I do like a gentle cycle and a run. But when I do a HIIT, I’m buzzing for hours after and I have a lot of energy.  

Question: What does Joe Wicks eat in a day? 

Answer: I normally train in the morning on an empty stomach. Then I’ll have a bowl of porridge with some berries, peanut butter, chia seeds. I love crunchy stuff so maybe some cashew nuts. Lunch will be maybe a salad with olives, cheese and avocado: a nice fatty sort of lunch. Then for dinner will normally be a chicken stir fry or a bit of grilled salmon with some mashed potato or vegetables. Just keep it really simple really.  

I try and mix things up, but the kids eat the same as us because they’ve been eating like mini adults from the start. We don’t have separate baby food for them. That’s something that takes time, but if you’re consistent, they’ll eat the food you eat.  

Question: Does Joe Wicks have a cheat day? 

Answer: I don’t believe in the whole “cheat day” thing, because I think, it’s just “life”. Some days I’m emotional and smash a workout. Other days I’m emotional and eat six crumpets, and loads of marmalade on toast, and a big bar of chocolate, and some Doritos. It just depends how I feel.  

But I don’t feel guilt, I just feel tired and bloated. I don’t wake up going, “oh, what have I done?” I just go, “Right, I’ve just eaten all that food, let’s go do a workout and put it to use.”
