The Truth About the 7-Minute Workout

This article talks about an efficient way to do exercise in only 7 minutes. The 7-minute workout helps you to burn fat and improves your metabolism.

The workout is an example of high-intensity circuit training (HICT) and became famous after its appearance in an academic article published in ACSM'S Health & Fitness Journal.

The purpose of the exercises is to build strength in all major muscle groups, and to create a balance of strength throughout the body. It seems that HITC provides many of the fitness benefits of prolonged endurance training but in much less time. 

The exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each, while the intensity must be around 8 on a discomfort scale of 1 to 10. Those seven minutes should be, in a word, unpleasant. 

The upside is, after seven minutes, you’re done.
