Even though we’re all stuck at home, it’s still Workout Wednesday, and health and fitness coach Helle Hammonds has you covered with three intense 30-minute workouts.
With the UK in lockdown for at least three weeks due to the coronavirus, we can only leave the house once a day for exercise, so we can’t just run around the block whenever we want. Now, more than ever, effective home workouts that get our heart pumping and make us feel the burn the next day are essential.
If you’re up for a challenge, Healthista’s 30-day home workout challenge is just what you need. Helle Hammonds, a reputable fitness coach known for her motivation and professional sculpting techniques, has put together some high-intensity workouts for us.
