Just because we’re stuck at home doesn’t mean we have to skip Workout Wednesday. Fitness coach Helle Hammonds has three intense 30-minute workouts to keep you sweating and fit.
With the UK in lockdown due to the coronavirus, we can only leave the house once a day for exercise, or we might get fined. So, we need effective home workouts now more than ever to keep our heart rates up and break a sweat.
Healthista has teamed up with fitness coach Helle Hammonds to bring you some challenging and efficient home workouts. Helle is known for her motivational skills and professional sculpting techniques.
Give these three workouts a try over the next few days and share your progress with us on Instagram @HealthistaTV.
