User reviews:
"This app is the ONLY one that truly GETS it."
"Tried like 6 of these apps. This is best."
"Best of the three Ive tried. The audio cues are so complete... I never have to look at the screen"

"Ive tried a bunch of the apps, and this one is the best" (Dan Franks, Macworld)

What this app does:

- Explains the 12 exercises with illustrations, text and videos.
- Natural voice cues tell you which exercise to do next.
- Audio countdown of seconds remaining, so you know how much time is left.
- Voice cues tell you when to rest and when to start again.
- Beautiful, simple graphics
- Rest screen displays next exercise.
- Ability to skip or repeat an exercise.
- Countdowns during workout and rest cycles.
- Adjust the volume of the voice prompts.
- Integrates with HealthKit so you can track the calories youve burned*
- Keeps track of your progress in a workout log*
- Additional workouts and exercises*

* Requires In-App purchase


What really sets this app apart from the rest is the quality of the audio cues. A clear voice coaches you through the entire workout. The app counts down the seconds left and tells you whats up next. This makes a huge difference!

As seen in the NYT article, "The Scientific 7-Minute Workout", this workout is based on research in high-intensity interval training. You will exercise all major muscle groups using nothing more than a floor, wall, chair and your own body weight.

Pros and cons of 7 Minute Workout App app for iPhone and iPad

7 Minute Workout App app good for

I think that everybody should have this!!!! Good for everybody!!!??????????????????????????? And free!! Great app!
Ive been trying to lose weight and with this app i lost 6 pounds this week!! ( not all cause of the app) but it helped me a lot!!! I totally recommend it and I will be buying the full version of this and I have this on all my devices!!
This helps. As a pre trucker I planned on doing this every chance I get. As a trucker I do this hopefully every morning. Its good and makes me believe ill keep under BMI 18% . Thx.
Im only 13 years old but I did this 4 times a day for 3 weeks and I had abs and much stronger biceps and Im still doing it its great for legs and everything
This app motivated me to get my whole body in shape. I love it. I do this workout and see people doing various versions of same stuff with expensive personal trainers. The trainers appreciate and respect the routine I do. The 7 min app is my trainer. When I 1st began using it, I was trembling by the side plank (last activity). I hated it, because it was hard. If you stick with it, even modify things to be easier at first, it gets easier and you must adjust/customize to be challenging later on. If you are out of shape, discuss it with your doctor and/or someone with experience who may either advise you against it or help you modify things. Now, I complete the circuit 3x in a row with 20lb Dumbbells. I use it in lieu of cardio or in addition to lifting weights. Ive worked up to doing each activity for 1 minute in duration, but scaled back to 30 seconds because 1 minute was wiping me out and ruining my lifting and/or cardio workouts. You can swap out comparable exercises on your own and use the timer, but you cant customize or mix and match activities within the app. You can make easier or more difficult on your own with a modification. For example, during squat, I use 40 lb kettle bell and do goblet squats and end with over head press. I also do the plank with straight arms with my feet on a yoga ball that I roll up knees to chest to hit lower abs. Im dripping sweat by that point during the second cycle. I think it should have a menu of comparable activities to maintain the benefit and permit people to target specific areas of need or work around injuries. For example, I dont need the tricep action and swap it out for V ups with a medicine ball. I also dont do the advanced workouts because I refuse to hurt my bad knees jumping (burpees, etc). Also, I wish it would also better directly interface with my Fitbit to track heart rate, calories burned, etc. Still, the app is a staple routine for me. It gets my engine warmed up, hits my whole body, and gets me sweating and pumped. I cant believe more gyms dont do this the same way they do yoga sessions. Im a school principal and we use its premise as part of one of our fitness units for students.
My first thought before downloading this app was that its a joke! But after the first try I was impressed. With my busy life 7 min work out is just what I needed. So I decided to do it every day. I remember the first time I tried it my heart rate went from normal to 152 bpm.. Lol but as time went on I only improved. The best part of it was that it helped me creat a great habit. This app is just too good to be true. In a period of a month and half I dropped 10 pounds and my muscles started to get cut! By the 3rd month Im in the best shape of my life. If I could only post before and after photos. I recommend this app to every friend and family member of mine. If you want to change your life just download this app and just give it 7 min everyday and youll understand where Im coming from. Good luck! By the way to the developers I want to thank you cause I owe you one!

Some bad moments

Should offer the option to at least be able to do inverted rows or pullups. Just creating muscle imbalances in everyone who does this workout because you cant offer them exercises to balance their body.
App is fine but Whats up with charging for a male voice??? I will spend my money elsewhere!
Is called the 7 min workout but the free version will only do 30 min workout. Have to pay/upgrade if you want to change or customize anything.
Downloaded the app and now cant find any icon of it on my phone. Its in the purchased area but when I press the open button, nothin happens. Because of the reviews I had high hopes but you cant use what you cant find.
Displayed an ad after the workout even after I paid for the premium, ad-free version.
Treadmill broke and replaced with 2 rounds of this, very good. Edit: The upgrade keeps crashing on my iPhone, if it aint broke dont fix it!
