Joe Wicks wants to know: What鈥檚 the one thing that makes life better?

Joe loves finding ways to boost his mental and physical health, so he鈥檚 asking some of his inspiring mates about their secret to physical and mental happiness. Whether it鈥檚 a freezing cold shower, walkies with the dog, or a sneaky post-lunch nap, every guest will share the one thing that works for them.

If you don't recognise Andy Puddicombe's name, you MIGHT recognise the soothing sound of his voice. Joe's guest this week is the voice of, and brains behind, the Headspace app. Launched in 2012 and now a global success story, the app aims to 'demystify mindfulness and meditation' and bring it to people who might not think they need it.

In this podcast, Andy shares his incredible story with Joe: from fitness enthusiast in the UK, to Buddhist monk in Tibet, to mindfulness instructor in Moscow, and back to the UK to learn circus skills! Joe shares his own transformative experiences with meditation, and they geek out about life in LA, surfing, sharks, and learning how to be a mindful parent.

Summer holiday鈥檚 been postponed and you鈥檙e feeling down? Forget about it. This is sunshine in a podcast. Joe Wicks is here for you, and he won鈥檛 stop until you鈥檙e fit and happy.
