"  I thought the seven-minute workout might be a fad, but it&amp;#039;s not. I lost almost 70 pounds through consistent exercise, but sometimes I don&amp;#039;t have a lot of time, so this routine is fabulous for maintenance. It&amp;#039;s also a perfect way to get started if you&amp;#039;ve been on a break from fitness. If you put in all-out effort, researchers say you&amp;#039;ll see results similar to a much longer workout\u2014yes, in the time it takes to listen to your favorite song twice. What it is: 12 exercises that require no equipment\u2014squats, planks, running in place, etc.\u2014performed for 30 seconds each, with 10 seconds of transition between each move. It takes about seven minutes to do it once. Repeat if you have time for a longer workout. Kelly&amp;#039;s tips\u2026 1. Get yourself set up before you begin. You need to be near an open wall and a sturdy chair. I also like to use a yoga mat for cushioning when I&amp;#039;m doing the floor moves, like the crunches and plank. 2. Don&amp;#039;t be wimpy. At first, I just went through the motions. But then I told myself, &amp;quot;Kelly, it&amp;#039;s only seven minutes\u2014you&amp;#039;re an idiot if you don&amp;#039;t put your all into it.&amp;quot; You have to do it with intensity or you won&amp;#039;t get enough out of it. 3. Yes, you will be sore. If you do the workout in the morning, like I do, you&amp;#039;re definitely feeling it by dinnertime. The first time, I felt like I&amp;#039;d done the ThighMaster for an hour. I hurt everywhere, right down to my armpits (thanks to the push-ups)! But, like anything else, your body gets used to it the longer you stick with it. 4. Have weight to lose? I don&amp;#039;t think I would&amp;#039;ve been able to lose so much weight with just seven minutes of exercise a day. But what I love about this workout is you can do seven minutes when you wake up, seven minutes during lunch, seven minutes before you go to bed. And trust me, you will want to go to bed if you&amp;#039;ve done all that. 5. Need a coach? &amp;quot;Downloading an app helps. Voice prompts guide you through, and there&amp;#039;s always an end in sight!&amp;quot; Try the 7 Minute Workout app by Bytesize (free for iPhones) or the 7min Full Workout App (free for Androids).
