"Seven-Minute Workout"


          

Has anyone tried this? It's a basic HIIT workout, requiring nothing but body-weight, a chair and a wall.

You to 30 seconds of exercise, with 10 seconds of rest in-between. The order of exercise is:

Jumping jacks
Wall sit
Push-up
Abdominal crunch
Step-up onto chair
Squat
Triceps dip on chair
Plank
High knees/running in place
Lunge
Push-up and rotation
Side plank

My wife and I have been doing these for about a week and a half now. I JUST got up to 3 reps of this circuit. She's up to two now. Maybe I'm old and out of shape, but I had no idea how hard this shit would be when I started, but less than two weeks in, I'm already seeing results.

I think I'm going to just do this, basketball and running, and cut out all weight training for the foreseeable future, unless, of course, this becomes too easy.

I have like 3 of those on my phone including the specific one I think you're referring to
I like them because I can switch up circuit workouts at the drop of a hat.

Can you do the push-up w/ rotation? That is the one exercise I skip because I can't seem to do w/o the possibility of not getting back into position in time and falling on my face.

here for dis.

you can do a timed set for 4, 6, 8, 10 minutes and it actually works a whole bunch of athletic attributes that make other things much easier. If I could only pick one thing to do, that would be it.

vfworkout and ickbgirls are a couple of YT channels with good examples of form

it's on a day where you get to rest the next day, as it works pretty much every muscle in the body. IE don't do it and then have a heavy press, squat, or deadlift day the next day, you'll be pretty worthless.

http://www.sworkit.com/

i was looking for an app that had stretching so i ended up leaving 7 minute workout behind

there is stretching, cardio and strength training

it is wayyyyyyyy more intense than the 7 minute workout though

also the demonstration videos run in a loop with it not like 7 minute workout where you have to click the link/pause the workout to view the video

it's doing something arduous and
creating something of value and then
being able to reflect on the fruits of your labor

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

of each exercise. I've lost 5 lbs (although I've also been eating better), and I can do three sets of the circuit now. I feel like my stomach is tighter, but that could be an illusion.

Was looking for some new HIIT exercises this morning.

I've always done my work on a treadmill but will probably try these when I'm too tired/cold/unmotivated to get to the gym.

And that dang Organix message board. I always forget it's there.

Btw, Ronda indirectly called you out when she was responding to Laila haha

"If she wants to take me up on that, I’m around," Rousey told the Daily Beast.

"She’s retired and has several kids. I understand why she’d think that because she has a size advantage, but if you saw my last fight it had nothing to do with size or strength at all. That’s not how I beat people."

"So you can’t count having a size and strength advantage as having a real advantage against me."

Did two rounds using an 8lb dumbbell for the crunches, squats and lunges.

I'm dying now. I do want to see if I can get myself up to four reps eventually.

But it's a solid workout. Thanks for sharing.

Gonna get me some Thai food now.
