Have you heard of the 7-minute workout? I guess it was featured by the New York Times, but I was told about it by a friend who is a personal trainer. It was created by exercise professionals at Johnson & Johnson’s Wellness + Prevention, Inc.
Last night I tried it, and I could only do 15 seconds of each exercise!! Or should I say that’s all I chose to do…
But it was a start, and I plan to keep at it until I choose to not only do the whole thing, but maybe a couple-three times a day. This will be a great way to incorporate exercise when I travel, too! It would even be fun to gather a few friends and work out together.
It is definitely challenging, and it definitely lowered my blood glucose. In fact, my blood glucose was on the low side all morning today as a result (and remember I only did the 3.5-minute version!).
So for those of you who are looking for quick, but effective ways to exercise – give it a try!
PS I am happy (although somewhat embarrassed) to report that this may be the first app that I officially downloaded for myself. All of the other apps on my phone were downloaded by my kids and mostly for my kids. Stay tuned for a future post about sifting through all the different versions of the 7-minute workout as I wrote this! Yikes.
