“You’re only one workout away from a good mood.” —Unknown
A 7 minute workout is a mere blink of your eye within your day, so carve out seven minutes of space for your body, and yes, your mind.
The 7 minute workout was popular a few years ago, but it has recently resurfaced, most likely as a result of lockdowns during the pandemic, especially as so many people worked from home. Scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and other institutions show that even a few minutes of training at an intensity approaching your maximum capacity, produces molecular changes within muscles comparable to those of several hours of running or bike riding. The 7 minute workout is comprised of 12 exercises which deploy only body weight, the use of a chair and a wall. Courtney demonstrates the 12 exercises and gives us good information about this workout, and how it can be modified according to age, physical condition and more.
