Just because we’re stuck at home doesn’t mean we should skip workout Wednesday. Health and fitness coach Helle Hammonds has three intense workouts you can do in just 30 minutes.
The UK is officially in lockdown for at least three weeks due to the coronavirus. We’re only allowed outside once a day for exercise, so no more jogging around the block several times just to get some fresh air. Now, more than ever, we need effective home workouts that get our heart rate up and leave us feeling sweaty and a bit sore the next day.
If you’re up for a challenge, the Healthista 30-day home workout challenge kicks off with Helle Hammonds delivering time-efficient, high-intensity workouts designed to get results. Praised for her motivational skills and professional sculpting techniques, Helle’s workouts are sure to be effective.
Try these three home workouts over the next few days and share your progress on Instagram by tagging @HealthistaTV.
