Just because we’re stuck at home doesn’t mean we should skip out on Workout Wednesday. Fitness coach Helle Hammonds has got us covered with three intense 30-minute workouts that will definitely make you sweat.
The UK is now in a lockdown for at least three weeks due to the coronavirus. We can only go out for exercise once a day, so those frequent jogs around the block are out of the question. Now, more than ever, we need effective home workouts that get our heart rates up and make us feel that satisfying soreness the next day.
Healthista has teamed up with Helle Hammonds, a renowned fitness coach, to bring you home workouts that really work. Helle’s routines are intense, efficient, and designed to deliver results. Known for her motivational skills and sculpting techniques, Helle’s workouts are a perfect challenge.
