<\/div>\u201cI\u2019m really passionate about inspiring young people to exercise, obviously with PE with Joe<\/a> it\u2019s all about getting kids moving and it\u2019s really my passion now. I love what it\u2019s achieved getting adults moving with my YouTube and my app,\u201d Wicks tells RadioTimes.com<\/a> during an exclusive chat.<\/p>\n \u201cBut when I see kids exercising and I see the benefits it has on them and how they feel afterwards, I\u2019m really driven by that. PE with Joe happened, and I thought, \u2018How can I continue that legacy and still keep kids engaged in fitness?\u2019 And I thought, what better way to partner up with something like an amazing loved cartoon show like Hey Duggee. I thought it would be a great way of getting that even younger age, preschoolers, who are so impressionable and you can almost put it in their DNA that exercise is fun, it can change how you feel, it can give you a bit of energy, it can boost your mood. I just thought it was a great partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n As for filming, it certainly wasn\u2019t without its difficulties as Wicks had to work with a green screen to bring Duggee to life.<\/p> \u201cSo, I\u2019m thrown into the world with Duggee and the squirrels,\u201d Wicks explains. \u201cWe\u2019re looking and interacting. It\u2019s a really great format and it just works.\u201d<\/p>\n He adds: \u201cIt was really fun, yeah, and it was challenging because we had two kids and we had to film separately. I was so tired those three days of filming, but we got some really good videos, and I think evergreen that will last for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n As for the future, Wicks \u201cwould love to do more\u201d Workout Badges, but that will be in the hands of YouTube Originals (seems like a no-brainer to us) and he\u2019s on standby for more PE with Joe, should the time arise. The nation awaits\u2026<\/p>\n
