Self-isolation doesn’t mean we should skip our Workout Wednesday. Fitness coach Helle Hammonds has created three 30-minute workouts to help you stay active and fit at home. With the UK in lockdown due to the coronavirus, we’re limited to one outing a day for exercise, so these home workouts are more important than ever. They’re designed to get your heart rate up and leave you feeling accomplished.

Healthista’s 30-day home workout challenge is here, with Helle Hammonds providing high-intensity exercises that promise results. Known for her motivational skills and professional fitness techniques, Helle’s routines are meant to keep you on track.

Try these three at-home workouts over the next few days and share your progress with @HealthistaTV on Instagram.
