You have probably seen all these website promoting full-body workouts in 7 minutes a day and guaranteeing amazing bodybuilding, toning or weight loss results. Well, save your hard earned money.
Let’s look at this logically. If evolution intended humans to exercise for only 7 minutes a day and end up achieving amazing results, than our bodies would have evolved that way, but they did not and probably never will. If anything, lack of exercise and inactivity will continue to be a health problem in the future. Limiting yourself to a very limited and set amount of time of exercise will hinder your strength and cardiovascular system. It’s pretty obvious why.
Also, if you could train from only 7 minutes than Olympic athletes would be doing this instead of the long hours they put into various training programs.
The human body was meant to be active whether through exercise, work or some other activity. Sure you can focus on a 10 minute exercise for a certain body part like your abs, but not your entire body. Exercise should not be just viewed as a way to achieve a certain look… A healthy and toned look is important but it’s more than that! It’s a major health benefit for you and it can be a social thing too especially if you exercise with friends or socialize with friends at the gym. It’s a chance to get away from stress and the daily routine of life, a chance to do something else. So if you are limiting yourself to only 7 minutes a day of exercise, you will be missing the point of working out.
What exercise program works best for you is something that you figure out with time or with help from a personal trainer.
