While we’re all stuck at home during this self-isolation, it’s still important to remember it’s Workout Wednesday. Fitness coach Helle Hammonds has come up with three intense workouts you can finish in just 30 minutes.
With the UK on lockdown for at least three weeks due to the coronavirus, we can only go out once a day for exercise. So, those plans to jog around the block multiple times are out.
Now more than ever, we need effective home workouts that get our heart rates up and leave us feeling accomplished (and maybe a little sore) the next day.
If you’re up for a challenge, join the Healthista 30-day home workout challenge led by Helle Hammonds, a well-known health and fitness coach. She’s great at keeping you motivated and has some top-notch sculpting techniques.
Here are three home workouts to try over the next few days. Tag @HealthistaTV on Instagram to let us know how you’re doing with your “sweaty thirty” workouts.
