7 minute workout?

Is it any good? I'm losing weight and would like to tone up at the same time so I'm not just losing fat but making my muscles more visible and hopefully gain some. Would it be sufficient to do it twice a day? I did it a few minutes ago and I started sweating a lot and was a bit tired, don't know if that's a good indicator of whether how high intense it was. If you don't know about it, a quick google search will tell you. It seems to have a bit of everythng in it

Thanks

    I have the app on my ipad and it whistles at me every night at 8pm but I've never bothered with it. If you're new to exercise it might be quite new but I normally work out a lot longer so personally don't think I'd benefit enough from 7 minutes.

    Any workout, especially if it makes you sweat and tired will help.

    Eventually, your stamina will go up and you will workout longer.

    So start with your 7 mins twice a day and eventually start adding a few more minutes as your body gets used to the routine or switch up to another routine and add more time if needed. Like I said you will know when to switch up or add time as it will become less challenging.

    Great job!

    When I find the exercises getting easier, if I wear a backpack with books or weights or whatever, will that help add more resistance. I'm using this as a substitute for gym as I don't have the time for it.

    I do a seven minute workout every once in a while just during the day when things are boring or slow . It's not part of any routein but more just for fun or to get me moving ...

    I take a class & we just did this routine last Monday....3 sets all out with strength bands in between just for a mellow break but still working hard. Scientific evidence proves this type of work out has great benefits!!

    Yes, if you do not have any weights then improvise and add the books to your back pack or use water jugs, etc. to add more resistance.
