The 7 Minute Workout

EQUIPMENT: bodyweight only

INSTRUCTIONS: Complete at a superset round. 30 seconds work, 10 seconds rest.

Go at a sustainable, manageable pace for your fitness level.

EXERCISES

• Jumping Jacks
• Wall Sit
• Push Ups

• Alternating Step Ups
• Body-weight Squats
• Triceps Dips
• Plank
• High Knees
• Lunges
• Push Ups with Rotation

SUBSTITUTIONS & OPTIONS:

•  If you’re cleared to work out post injury, take the jumps out and just march in place (instead of jumping jacks and high knees)

•  Don’t have a step or sturdy chair? Substitute reverse lunges or lateral lunges.

•  4 rounds accumulate approximately 30 minutes. Do it all at once, use as a warm up, or break it up into micro workouts throughout the day to accumulate a full body workout.
