Officially, no one has ANY excuse! I love this workout, it takes only 7 minutes, as advertised. AND it requires no props, except a chair. It will seriously kick your booty! I modified it a little because I CAN'T do squats properly. And abdominal crunches just don't do it for me, my tummy needs a much higher level of difficulty.
Here you can download a diagram and read all about it: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-minute-workout/?_r=0. And here is a link to a timer, which helps you know how long to do each exercise and when to switch/rest: http://www.7-min.com/. Like I said, it is really hard! Make sure you:
land softly during: jumping jacks, step up onto chair and high knees running in place.
do pushups slowly, while engaging core.
during squats and lunges, don't let knee go past toes, shin should be perpendicular to floor.
suck in your gut during tricep dips and keep your shoulders back.
suck in your gut during plank to avoid lower back stress.
sweat!
I will try it!
