Even though we’re all stuck at home due to self-isolation, it doesn’t mean we should skip our workout plans. Health and fitness coach Helle Hammonds has designed three intense, 30-minute workouts that you can easily do at home.
With the UK in lockdown for at least three weeks because of the coronavirus, we’re only allowed to leave our homes once a day for exercise. This disrupts our usual routine of frequent jogs around the block. Now more than ever, we need effective home workouts that make us sweat and feel a bit sore the next day.
Ready for a challenge? The Healthista 30-day home workout challenge starts now, featuring workouts by our special guest, Helle Hammonds. Known for her motivational skills and professional-level techniques, Helle’s workouts are designed to be time-efficient and high-intensity, ensuring real results.
Try these three home workouts over the coming days and share your progress by tagging @HealthistaTV on Instagram.
