You have read all about the Seven Minute exercise in the papers and seen the results on TV, now try out the one app that makes it simple and easy. This app will guide you through every step, count down the time, and give you 5 seconds to switch to the next exercise. As well we have detailed explanations on each exercise, and a visual guide. In 12 exercises deploying only body weight, a chair and a wall, the seven minute exercise regime fulfils 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. “There’s very good evidence” that high-intensity interval training provides “many of the fitness benefits of prolonged endurance training but in much less time”.
