Imagine if everyone could reach peak fitness by dedicating only seven minutes a day.

It might sound unbelievable, but improving your health and fitness can truly be achieved in just seven minutes a day—specifically, through the 7 Minute Workout.

So, what is the 7 Minute Workout?
It’s a series of twelve high-intensity, bodyweight exercises performed in a set sequence. This workout has grown in popularity worldwide thanks to its simplicity, efficiency, and minimal time requirement.

Do each exercise for 30 seconds, take 10 seconds rest, and start the next exercise.
