Just because we’re in self-isolation doesn’t mean we have to skip our Workout Wednesday. Fitness coach Helle Hammonds has three intense 30-minute workouts lined up for us.
With the UK now in lockdown for at least three weeks due to the coronavirus, our outdoor exercise is limited to once a day. We need effective home workouts now more than ever—something that gets our heart rate up and leaves us a bit sore the next day.
Healthista has teamed up with Helle Hammonds to bring us high-intensity home workouts that are both time-efficient and result-oriented. Helle is known for her motivational skills and professional sculpting techniques.
Try these three home workouts over the next few days and share your progress with us on Instagram @HealthistaTV.
