Since we’re all stuck at home, we can’t forget that it’s Workout Wednesday! Health and fitness coach Helle Hammonds is here to guide us through three intense workouts that you can complete in just 30 minutes.
With the UK in lockdown due to the coronavirus, we can only leave our homes once a day for exercise. So, instead of trying to jog around the block every hour, we need some effective home workouts that get our hearts pumping and leave us just the right amount of sore the next day.
Want to take on a challenge? Join the Healthista 30-day home workout challenge starting now. Helle Hammonds, our special guest health and fitness coach, has crafted these high-intensity home workouts that really get results. Helle is known for her motivating tactics and professional sculpting techniques.
Give these three home workouts a try over the next few days, and share your progress by tagging @HealthistaTV on Instagram with your sweat-filled updates.
