Even though we’re stuck at home, it doesn’t mean we have to skip Workout Wednesday. Health and fitness coach Helle Hammonds has got three 30-minute workouts that are sure to make you sweat.
With the UK on lockdown because of the coronavirus, we can only go out once a day for exercise – no more frequent jogs around the block. So now, more than ever, we need effective home workouts that get our hearts racing and leave us feeling a good kind of sore the next day.
Feeling up for a challenge? Healthista has teamed up with Helle Hammonds to bring you a 30-day home workout challenge. Helle is known for motivating people and using professional-level techniques that really work. These high-intensity workouts are designed to be efficient and effective.
Try these three workouts over the next few days and show us your progress on Instagram by tagging @HealthistaTV.
