The Scientific 7 Minute Workout

An article in the May-June issue of the American College of Sports Medicine’s Health & Fitness Journal does just that. In 12 exercises deploying only body weight, a chair and a wall, it fulfills the latest mandates for high-intensity effort, which essentially combines a long run and a visit to the weight room into about seven minutes of steady discomfort — all of it based on science.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I think it would take me about 7 minutes to do that 'push-up-to-wave-at-the-sky' thing.

If it does, stay away. Guy eats once a day and it's usually 5 large meat lovers pizzas. Working out is a joke.

 

[Wooderson]

That's cool and all but what happens when someone comes along with the 6 minute workout?

 

[Sand]

That and a few Amberens and the weight will just fly off, leaving one looking like the Bowflex guy/Otis.

7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.

It's a random collection of traditional exercises thrown together with a couple of references to the benefits of interval training (several of which aren't even from scientific publications). There's nothing more scientific about this than if you walked into the gym and asked any random bro "hey can you give me a handful of exercises to throw together for a quick interval session?"

This is 7 minutes longer than my current workout.

[Ignoramus]

I'm more partial to my two-minute workouts once or twice a week.

 

[kOOk]

12 exercises X 30 seconds each + 10 second rest periods = 7 minutes and 50 seconds.

That's more than 7 minutes. I'm out.

So for the lunges, push-up rotations and side plank, are you doing 15 seconds for each side?

That's why I love this board. I came into this thread solely to post this, the greatest movie quote from the 90s. Carry on.

Good question! I think on the lunges and push-up rotations you would just alternated for the 30 seconds. The side plank I would do 15 secs each, or maybe build to 30 secs each side. There is a similar routine called "Spartacus" that was published in Men's health a while back. 10 stations, each station 60 secs, 15 secs inbetween stations, then a 2 minute rest and repeat 2 more circuits. Body weight an dumbells only. It's a beast.

That's what I did. Alternate on the lunges and rotations, 15 seconds per side for the side plank. By then I was pretty spent anyway. Did a second set and then went to the gym. Thirty minutes of interval on the Precor seemed like a breeze. Not much left by the time I got to the weights though.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Is there a youtube of this? That article is too long to read

 

[Peak]

eh... for when I have time to take a look.

 

[Righetti]

downloaded the app and I have to say it is a fantastic workout..

12 exercises, each 30 seconds long at high intensity with 10 seconds of rest between them.

you can't ever complain that you don't have time to workout anymore...

on iOS the one I bought was called "7 MWC"

is a green icon with a big 7 in the middle of a manual stop-watch.

it's a great workout

 

[the moops]

Wife and I do these with our little ones. We do two 7 minute workouts. One of us will go all out with it on the first go round, while the other just sort of messes around with the little ones as they flail about doing jumping jacks or high knees. Second time through we switch. So sort of getting like 1.5 of these every time we do it. Not gonna get you super fit, but every little bit helps, and it only takes 15 minutes. And it is fun.

I like the one where they throw in the 8th minute for free if you're not satisfied.

eta: someday we will do this. maybe. to be clear- hasn't happened yet.

haven't been able to use the kettlebells with the little ones around, but they enjoy "helping" me with weighted pushups.

Why would we want a fat guy to give approval on an exercise program?

Yea, the little ####ers climb all over me. I can do the pushups with one on me, but not both

 

[Gator Shawn]

I do something similar, the Tabada. It's 4-minutes long. Best to do with core or full body exercises. I will do it though with sprints, rowing machine, and burpees.

It's 20 seconds all out, 10 seconds rest x 8

The first few are easy peasy, but it gets hard.... real hard. 10 seconds is barely enough to catch the tiniest breath.

I use an interval trainer app on my phone to keep me honest.

Lol plebs. I was doing weighted pushups with 115 lbs of plates on my back last night.

Check out the Tarheel workout too. All you need a medicine ball / 8 pound weight / 8 pound sack of potatoes.

Actually was doing this last year daily for a stretch of a couple months, I thought it was great. Trouble was that I stopped doing it. But I recommend.
