High-intensity circuit and resistance training:
Possibly the best FREE 7 minutes workout app on the market
7 Minutes, a chair, and a wall is the only thing you need to get in shape again!
★-Voice commands, ★-Simple and clean interface, ★-Adjust intervals
The principle: Do a strength exercise like a squat repeating the motion for a certain amount of time, rest, and then do another strength move. It’s different than traditional resistance training because the rest periods are shorter—usually less than 30 seconds—and the exercises chosen work large muscle groups in order to raise your heart rate. This approach combines aerobic and resistance training into a single exercise bout.
This approach is extremely effective at improving aerobic fitness, boosting metabolism, and burning body fat. In fact, these type of workouts can increase the number of calories you burn at rest for up to 72 hours after your workout ends as your body expends energy to repair your muscles. High-intensity circuit training may help you lose more fat than traditional resistance training, because resistance training with short rest periods release greater levels of fat-burning human growth hormone immediately after exercise.
Originally published by the American College of Sports Medicine, the workout took off with the New York Times story, "The Scientific 7-Minute Workout." (http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-minute-workout/) this app helps to guide you through the routine that involves the following twelve exercises performed for 30 seconds each with 10-second rest/transition periods before the next move:
✓- Jumping jacks
✓- Wall sit
✓- Push-up
✓- Abdominal crunch
✓- Step-up onto chair
✓- Squat
✓- Triceps dip on chair
✓- Plank
✓- High knees/running in place
✓- Lunge
✓- Push-up and rotation
✓- Side plank

Exercise names are missing plural suffixes. Cant tell if I should do one or more than one. Also side plank only exercises one side and not the other.

Good workout, but very frustrating to have it stop all the time in the middle of the workout. Since it's short, I just remember what's next and do reps. I'm looking for better alternatives.

Very Nice app. Free and not invasive at all. I tried a few before hitting on this one and this one is the best. It informs you of the upcoming exercise, when you're half way through (which is great if you want to switch sides), and in the last few seconds just before finishing and starting.

I love this app and have recommended it to several of my friends! Trying to tone up after losing baby weight...i don't have much time so this is perfect. I try to run this app several times a day. My husband noticed after a week of using it. He didn't know that i was squeezing this into my work day. :) thanks!

Could tell you to change sides on side plank etc. Also could have a goal section of the app to track how many days and times a day you do the workout, have so challenges/achievements to reach etc.

This is a great app, although I noticed that the voice mispronounced "Lunge", It said "get ready for Lung". Easy enough fix.

I was really happy to read the reviews out here and downloaded the app only to find that the app crash in-between the exercises . not even half way i think the app crashed when i was doing the push up and i have to start all over and again crashed . Already send the bug report through the app . Since the app is light weight I wish the bug was fixed and released . Also some instruction on how to do the exercise . Still i am rating this app 3 stars

This is a great quick workout. I love it and try to do it daily. Over time I'm sure I will be able to do them all for the full 30 seconds. Can't beat a good sweat in less than 7 minutes!

The exercises in this app are the same as in other apps, but this one notes the 15 second mark. Robotic voice, but fine.

First time I tried to use the app it crashed thrice on me. Couldn't get it to complete a workout. Also missing some features I'd like but that's secondary to not working at all.

Please add the ability to define multiple reps of the entire circuit. Per the American College of Sports Medicine article that devised this workout, the results stated in the study were accomplished by being able to execute the workout at 100% of an individual's V˙O2max capacity. Since most regular folks cannot perform at this level, they recommend doing the entire workout 2-3 times. Granted, one could just start the workout manually 3 times but it would be cool if we could define multiple reps of the entire circuit from the beginning.

This app is great. It really beats having to keep resetting a timer for each different workout. The pictures help too if you're unfamiliar with the position. The little time reminders and motivational sayings are helpful as well. Great app!

I'd like to see more than just the 12 exercises. User selectable exercises and/or preset routines. For instance: working specific muscle groups, opposing muscle groups, less strenous routines for the elderly and neophytes, stretching routines, etc.

It restarts every time I touch the screen. Annoying.
