Since we’re all stuck at home, it doesn’t mean we have to skip our “workout Wednesday.” Health and fitness coach Helle Hammonds has shared three intense 30-minute workouts to keep us moving.
With the UK now in lockdown due to the coronavirus, we can only leave the house once a day for exercise or risk getting fined. So, these high-intensity home workouts are perfect to keep our hearts pumping and make us sweat.
Healthista has teamed up with Helle Hammonds, a fitness and health coach known for her effective workouts and motivational style. She offers three different routines that you can try at home over the next few days. Tag @HealthistaTV on Instagram with your workout progress!
