A friend of mine told me about this workout and she swears by it. Is it a proven workout and how do I learn about it?

Hello Ali,

The 7 minute workout is high intensity circuit training which promises maximum results with a minimal investment of time, 7 minutes. This training program was introduced by an article which appeared in the May/June 2013 issue of the ACSM's (American College of Sports Medicine)Health & Fitness Journal.
"HIGH-INTENSITY CIRCUIT TRAINING USING BODY WEIGHT: Maximum Results With Minimal Investment"
Here is the link to that article:

There are 12 exercises in the workout
Here is the link to the YouTube video of the workout

There are apps available. Johnson & Johnson offers the official 7 minute workout app.

I think it is scientifically sound and proven results.

Regards,
Maryann
