With the 7 minute workout, you have no excuse not to exercise daily. All you need is a wall, a chair, a mat if the floor doesn't have carpet, and about 8 minutes. You get a full body endurance workout with all its long term and short term benefits - makes you feel more awake right away and helps you sleep better at the end of the day - and just 8 minutes later you can be back on your keyboard.

You can exercise more if you want to, but unless you have an impeding health problem, you have no excuse not to do this much.

I used this iOS app to learn the exercises (I started by learning 6 exercises and then evolved from there, in less than two weeks I was doing the full workout), and I use it every day to guide me: http://www.uovo.dk/apps/7minute.html (There's plenty of others similar apps out there which I haven't tried but this one works for me)




And after that your neighbor complains because you started to jump around at 6 am.

Really all those exercises you can do anywhere - yeah you can do them anywhere if you live in the 'burbs.


That's not a good excuse. There are plenty of hours in the day from which to choose an 8 minutes window.
