Stay Fit without Fuss

The 7 Minute Workout app really gives users the ability to stay fit without all the fuss of joining classes, a gym, or investing in expensive equipment for your home. Just because you don’t have tons of spare time to dedicate to working out doesn’t mean you can’t still be in shape and be healthy. The app features 12 different high intensity bodyweight exercises. Each of these exercises takes 30 seconds to complete and then you are given 10 seconds of rest between them. As mentioned you won't have to worry about a timer or counting because the app is all voice-prompted, allowing you to just focus on the exercise.
