Just because we’re all stuck in self-isolation doesn’t mean we should skip Workout Wednesday. Health and fitness coach Helle Hammonds has three intense, 30-minute workouts you can do at home.
With the UK now in lockdown for at least three weeks due to the coronavirus, we’re all confined to our homes and only allowed out once daily for exercise, or risk a fine. So, jogging around the block whenever we feel like it isn’t an option anymore. Now, more than ever, we need effective home workouts to get our heart rates up and leave us a little sore the next day.
Ready for a challenge? Healthista has teamed up with Helle Hammonds to bring you a 30-day home workout challenge. Helle’s workouts are high-intensity and time-efficient, designed to make you sweat and see results, thanks to her expert motivation and sculpting techniques.
Try these three workouts over the next few days and share your progress on Instagram by tagging @HealthistaTV.
