The Scientific 7-Minute High-Intensity Workout

You're busy, and the American College of Sports Medicine knows this, so it created a seven-minute, high-intensity workout for you to squeeze as much sweat as you can out of a short exercise session. To truly reap the benefits of this fitness quickie, the ACSM recommends doing three reps of the workout. Get prepped with a mat and chair, since there are some step-ups coming your way. Press play and follow along as we lead you through the 12 moves.

This has been my favorite for about 8 years now. Every time I see that I've gained some weight, usually because my schedule gets busier, I start doing this 7-min workout and I tone up in about a week with no change in diet. Generally, I try to eat well and I stay active.

Really awesome way to stay fit. Have been doing this for few months now and I can feel the energy. Good instructors - very clear and precise.

I've been doing this quickie workout to warm-up before a run. It's a great way to wake up the body. I love it. Thank you!
