Does the 7 Minutes Workout Really Work Out?

The 7 Minute Workout Challenge app is a health and fitness programme which helps users to exercise well in a short space of time. Essentially, the app gets you to workout for just seven minutes but achieve the same results as an hour long workout, according to the researchers who put it together. The app also tracks performance and encourages you to do better each time it is used.

The 7 Minute Workout Challenge in Summary

Once downloaded, this workout challenge app allows users to use your Android as a training aid. The programme is designed to help users get a high level of performance from their exercise sessions, essentially cramming in a much longer workout into a high intensity one that will last just seven minutes each time.

It offers instructions on the correct way to do each workout session and keeps a track of all of your exercise data so you can keep a check on your progress toward greater fitness.

To keep you going, there are various awards and achievements that users can unlock the more they take part in the exercise programmes. For people looking to slim down, it will help because it allows you to keep a record of your weight and to visualise your progress which, the makers claim, is a key factor in staying motivated.

Using the 7 Minute Workout Challenge

The app is set out on a screen that allows you to choose to look at the research behind many of the exercise regimes, to begin a workout session, to view your activity on a calendar or to look at an overview of your achievements.

Set out on a bright green display, perhaps the most interesting part of the app is the step-by-step advice that offers guidance on when to rest and when to perform seven minute blast of exercise. Users can select a male or female instructor from the menu and images as well as text directions are offered. Using the app in instruction mode requires no internet connection, so this is handy depending on where you happen to be.

The 7 Minute Workout Challenge is designed to increase the metabolism of anyone who uses it so that the benefit is felt throughout the day, not just when it is being used. This does require users to commit to each seven minute workout as well as sticking to the short recovery times between them.

Is This App Right For Me?

Although the app is strongly presented and informative, it contains little that you could not find elsewhere or from professional fitness instructors. Having said that, the ability to track progress will make the app a big hit with people who know what to do to improve their fitness, but who become demotivated rather quickly. The choice of instructors is also a good idea so it is suitable for all.
