7 Minute Exercise – HIIT Exercise

Are you a time-conscious adult? Setting exercise goals take less time than you think: A basic workout can be done in a 7-minute exercise using your own body weight as resistance. This is a great way to practice high-intensity interval training also known as HIIT.

Research from the American College of Sports Medicine supports high-intensity circuit training using one’s own body weight in a routine that takes only 7 minutes. Depending on how much time you have, you can perform this routine once in the morning and 2-3 times later in the day, getting a great workout with great health benefits in less than 30 minutes.
