Just because we’re all stuck at home doesn’t mean we should skip Workout Wednesday. Fitness coach Helle Hammonds is here to show us three intense 30-minute workouts you can do right in your living room.
So, the UK is officially in lockdown for at least three weeks because of the coronavirus. We can only go out once a day to exercise, and if we don’t follow the rules, we might get fined. So there goes our idea of jogging around the neighborhood multiple times a day just to get some fresh air.
Now more than ever, we need effective home workouts to get our heart rates up, make us sweat, and maybe feel a bit sore the next day. Want a challenge? Healthista has teamed up with Helle Hammonds to offer you a 30-day home workout challenge that really works.
These workouts, created and led by Helle Hammonds, are high-intensity and time-efficient. Helle is known for her motivational skills and professional sculpting techniques. Try these three home workouts over the next few days and share your progress with us on Instagram by tagging @HealthistaTV.
