Since we’re all in self-isolation, it’s still important to remember Workout Wednesday. Fitness coach Helle Hammonds has three intense workouts you can do in just 30 minutes at home.
So, the UK is officially in lockdown for at least three weeks due to the coronavirus, and we’re allowed out just once a day for exercise. This means our plan to jog around the block throughout the day is off the table. Now more than ever, we need effective home workouts that get our heart rates up and leave us feeling the burn the next day.
If you’re looking for a challenge, Healthista has created a 30-day home workout plan with Helle Hammonds. These workouts are intense, time-efficient, and designed to deliver results. Helle is known for her motivational coaching and effective sculpting techniques.
Give these three home workouts a go over the next few days, and share your progress by tagging @HealthistaTV on Instagram.
