Even though we’re all stuck at home in self-isolation, that doesn’t mean we can skip Workout Wednesday. Health and fitness coach Helle Hammonds brings us three intense 30-minute workouts to get our hearts pumping.
With the UK in lockdown due to the coronavirus, we’re limited to leaving our houses just once a day for exercise, or we might face a fine. So, it’s more important than ever to have effective home workouts that get us moving and sweating.
Want a challenge? Healthista has teamed up with Helle Hammonds to present a 30-day home workout challenge. These high-intensity workouts, created by Helle, are designed to be quick and effective, helping you stay fit even at home. Helle is known for her motivational skills and professional-level sculpting techniques.
Try these three home workouts over the next few days and share your progress with us on Instagram @HealthistaTV.
