  • The 7-minute workout is a science-backed circuit routine that uses only body weight. The high-intensity interval-training program was designed by two exercise scientists, Chris Jordan and Bret Klika, to be the most efficient workout. Our video producer, Kevin Reilly, spent 30 days using the 7-minute workout as his exercise.

    the 7-min workout is meant for people who are too busy to exercise. It gives you the mentality "it's just 7 mins so why not do it?" it's also a way to break the habit for people who are having a hard time incorporating exercise in their routine.

      Really? This is targeting ppl who cant even do 5 pushups in a row.....
      This is equivalent to the average person who doesnt workout but tries to do 100 pushups a day. It improves posture, and makes your core more stable and strong.
      Its useless for 90% of us did u not consider the overly obese?

      Well if the time account for your phone is during work or in conjunction of doing something else such as your on your phone while cooking your kids dinner. Wouldnt make much time.
      6am wake up, take your kids to school.
      Work 9-5
      6pm cook your kids dinner
      7 to 8pm, one can hit thr gym or is "on their phone" for an hour or two until 10pm before they past out to.go.back to worknin the morning.
      This doesnt cover overtime, or working a 2nd shift etc.
      Im not making excuses, im single, no kids so i literally have no excuse.

    If you're working out to lose weight. Don't check the normal scale because muscle weighs more than fat. I have a scale that measures my fat percentage, water percentage, add pulse. I've been going down on my fat percentage (I'm getting skinnier) but my weight has been going up. I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm trying to gain fat and muscle because I'm underweight.
    P.s. For some reason the scale also tells the weather.

      It take 6 to 8 weeks to see true changes in your body from the day you start exercising It doesnt happen overnight nor in a month. You can get an effective intense workout in 4-8 minutes thus HIIT or tabata (which is 20 sec going all in with all you got with a exercise like push up or dead lifts, then 10 sec rest,repeat for 8 rounds. )you will amaze at how 7 min workout will make you sore for days, if done correctly. Just today, i did 50 100lbs dead lifts then 75 each of 50lbs kettle rows, 65lbs land mine thruster, 50lbs kettle bell dead lifts to end with 2 min planks.all done in 15-20 min. Yesterday 100 each of squats, push up, sit ups, and leg lifts

      @@thomasespas3990 when you gain muscle your body burns more fat to help maintain that muscle so technically the muscles eat the fat. Also your metabolism increases and you are able to eat more because muscle cells need more energy than fat cells and in order to get that energy you have to eat.

BEST HIIT I'VE DONE WITH DEFINITE RESULTS! I did no other exercises and cut back but still ate what I wanted and dropped 16 pounds...I'd say in a couple of months but I only did the workout 3 sometimes 4 days a week--no more.

    Don't be discouraged to do lunges when you have bad knees. Most people do them wrong and I think I saw you make the same mistakes. It's very important that the knee that is going out or "doing the lunge" ends up bending at a 90 degree angle. Most people don't take a long enough stride and end up putting pressure on the knee because it's not supported properly.

By the way, your video is a honest and good.

      Paperism ok but the way working out works is that you have to workout AND eat good to where you’re getting all your vegetables and proteins in, you can’t just pick or choose, you have to do both to get the best results. If I’m a. Pudgy guy and I workout every day for 5 months yet barely see any difference in my body, it’s because you’re not eating right. Working you core for 5 months is bound to get your abs showing a little bit but they won’t show if your body fat is covering them. Think of it like this, protein and vegetable help *build up * muscle. Working out gains muscle and makes you lose weight if you’re not eating how you’re supposed to. However *if* you are eating how you’re supposed to then you won’t lose that much weight(unless you’re fat)and instead of having 170lb of fat and muscle on your body, now you have 170lb of almost pure muscle on you. You’re burning the fat and *building up the muscle in its place* causing your body to start to look tone and ripped

    This is the best workout period. Had high cholesterol and high liver fat. I did 7 days workout for 40 days ( 4 times a weak) as my doctor suggested and my results were completely normal . Even doctors were surprised . I try to do it once a weak . Absolutely recommended . If you are doing review of exercise it's better to mix in some blood tests results .

  • @OmerMan992
    @OmerMan992 Před 5 lety +4

    I think you missed the point there... It’s not just about doing an exercise for 30 seconds then rest for 10... In these 30 seconds you need to go almost as fast as you can while maintaining proper form (about 80% of your max is what normally advised), and then you get results. At least in this video it seems as though you took your time in each exercise, or maybe you didn’t but it didn’t seem as intense as this workout is supposed to be..
    I’m not just trashing, and I sure don’t mean to offend.. I’m simply talking out of my own experience, to help others that maybe watching this and think it doesn’t worth it.. IT DOES WORTH IT. I did it too for about a year on and off, and after only three weeks my muscles were so much more toned that I started to get compliments from people who didn’t even know I was exercising (so you know it’s not just to be nice...). Also, I was in the best shape of my life cardiovascular wise. I remember one time when I needed to run to catch the train and I was so surprised by how easy it suddenly was.. I ran for about 10 minutes straight quite effortlessly - without running at all as part of my workout routine - the only workout I did back then was the 7 minutes workout..
    BTW- this workout is especially good for those who want just to be more toned and be in a good cardiovascular shape - it’s not for building muscle mass..
    Bottom line - try it for yourself, and don’t forget the crucial point that is to GO ALMOST ALL-IN in every exercise (about 80% of your max), and trust me you’ll see, and feel the difference as soon as a few weeks.

    @DraconixReviews Před 5 lety +1

    I don't think making a claim on a "quick-style" workout when you already go to the gym is really advice that you can go off of. For most people that don't go to the gym or excercise already, you will see weight loss. This helps to guide you.
    The same goes for those of you trolling the comments section. You go to the gym and camp there for hours, we get it and we don't care. You shouldn't get people shooed away from working out at all by ripping into people trying it out and calling this an "easy method". For some of us, we're just trying to get a good introductory activity so we can practice better habits and maybe even expand from there. If you're telling people not to do this with no good ground to stand on, you shouldn't EVER be issuing out fitness advice, especially to newcomers.

Who wouldn't want to fit into something we dream to fit into for a while? Oh my GOSH that"s great improvement. Losing cms is just as important, not to mention the mental impact. Proven again, the body responds to CONSISTENCY more than anything. Excellent work. He seems like someone you don't want to mess around with... Straigh forward, honest, neat, simple and smart. Well done! Xxx

    I agree with most of your points. I don't have a great chair for the step-ups, so I had to improvise. I did these for more than 30 days and just found them to not be as challenging anymore. I also run. I did find that I could do more on my runs and other activities when I was doing this routine a few days a week. Again, after a while, it gets old. Adding extra circuits is okay, but still not enough.

    if you're just sweating a little bit and just breathing hard that means you're not doing HIIT correctly. In HIIT after each round you should feel like you're dying. Idk about the video he followed but the basics of HIIT is achieving maximal heart rate (or above) with little rest in between rounds

    @Alkis05 Před rokem +1

    Doing 2 sets kind of defeats the purpose of it being high intensity. If you find the exercises too ease, the correct thing would be to modify them a bit to make them more difficult. For example, doing diamond pushups or bicycle crunches. You could do one leg squats or do dips in the side plank.
    The original exercises are meant for people out of shape or the bare minimum to keep healthy. When doing callisthenic exercises, you need to keep modifying them to keep the intensity up. Doing more reps is not a bad idea, but you are increasing volume, not intensity.

  • @studiovulcan4411

    Losing fat is 80% diet and 20% workout.
    You don't /think/ it did a lot because it looks like you only based it on how you felt and the small amount of /weight/ you lost. You don't govern health by weight loss, you govern it by fat percentage. If you didn't even measure that then you have no real way of knowing how well it worked for you. You would have built muscle and burned fat in that course and thus your body weight would not have changed that dramatically.
    This video makes it seem like 'Yeah it's okay to do if you want something to do at home on the days you don't want to go to the gym, but don't use this as a strict workout plan'. Well the thing is the necessary changes nor measurements weren't taken, so it's just misleading people to think it's not that beneficial...

      Percy lemon (edited) 2:23 on, he said he didn't change his diet. eating food like this (the pictures) is going to be too much for his body. period. I mean, look at him: he's not in the best of shape. so when I mean enough I mean enough for a deficit or to maintain. but for him he eats high calories so he is eating too much for his body. if he really wanted to see if a workout worked effectively for fat loss then he should have eaten in a caloric deficit. if wanted food like the pictures and ate it every *few days* instead of *everyday* he still lose weight.
      main point: no workout, no amount, or no quality of workout can be effective if not paired with rest and recovery (proper eating and deficit).
