Then you have time for a workout! The seven-minute workout, has been made popular by a New York Times article covering a recent circuit workout published in the American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM) Health & Fitness Journal. Basically it is a form of high intensity circuit training (HICT), which challenges you to do short bouts of intense exercise. The 7 minute workout does just that...and gets you to use the majority of major muscle groups in the process. All you need is yourself, a wall and a chair (or steps) to complete the workout. Will 7 minutes of exercise be all that you need? Probably not. Combine this with some regular cardio and stretching and go through the 7 minute workout 2 or 3 times though and you will be well on your way!
