PM is back for the 5pm briefing today, so try our 'Bojo workout' to take your mind off those interminable charts and the media's quest to ask the longest question

The Prime Minister returns to host the No 10  coronavirus press conference today, his first since falling ill himself.

But just in case you normally time your daily exercise for 5pm so that you don't have to listen to those same old charts being explained in the same old way for the 100th time, before listening to none of the media's questions being answered, help is at hand.

We have devised a simple Bojo workout - eat your heart out Joe Wicks - to be done during the press conference so that you can, a) do yourself some good and, b) not miss out in case there's a new chart unveiled, or a media questioned actually gets answered.

Here are 10 living-room friendly moves you can do while watching Mr Johnson update the nation on the latest state of play.

1 - The Prime Minister says "social distancing" = 5 jumps to each side and back

2 - Hold a plank for the length of one complete question from a journalist

3 - Boris Johnson points to the audience with one hand = 10 x lunges

4 - Support the fantastic work of the NHS by star jumping with your thumbs up whenever the NHS is mentioned

5 - The word ‘fight’ or ‘’battle' is uttered = 10 x air punches 

6 - Mention of the ‘five tests or pillars’ = 5 x lunges to each side

7 - Boris holds up both his hands = 5 x push ups

8 - Mention of how ‘brilliantly’ most of the nation is observing the ‘stay at home’ advice = 5 x squats

9 - Mention of "Colonel Thomas Moore" = 3 x laps around the room

10 - High knees on the spot from the moment the PM says thank you and goodbye, until he disappears from view apparently walking into a disused bookcase
