Despite being stuck at home for self-isolation, it’s still Workout Wednesday! Health and fitness coach Helle Hammonds has three intense workouts you can do in just 30 minutes.
With the UK in lockdown for at least three weeks due to the coronavirus, we’re limited to going out for exercise once a day. So, our regular jogs around the block are no longer an option. It’s why effective home workouts are more important than ever to get our heart rate up and work up a good sweat.
Healthista is here to help with a 30-day home workout challenge, featuring guest fitness and health coach Helle Hammonds. Known for her motivational skills and professional-level techniques, Helle’s time-efficient, high-intensity workouts produce great results.
