I Tried The 7-Minute Workout For A Month - Here's What Happened
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2017
- The 7-minute workout is a science-backed circuit routine that uses only body weight. The high-intensity interval-training program was designed by two exercise scientists, Chris Jordan and Bret Klika, to be the most efficient workout. Our video producer, Kevin Reilly, spent 30 days using the 7-minute workout as his exercise.

And he's right - he does look damn good in that tux
Sam Nub Usually people say it and you're like "wow that was really cocky" but in his case I definitely was like "yeah he's totally right!"
Sam Nub true
Sam Nub the thing is, he probably created more muscle, burnt some fat and therefore didn't lose too much weight. But the shape of his body should be improved a lot due to the muscle growth
yes sir he does look damn good in the tux!

the 7-min workout is meant for people who are too busy to exercise. It gives you the mentality "it's just 7 mins so why not do it?" it's also a way to break the habit for people who are having a hard time incorporating exercise in their routine.
BintHasaan Ismail Might as well not do anything. This is useless.
No-one is too busy to exercise when you consider how long we spend on our phones each day.
riso horvath
Really? This is targeting ppl who cant even do 5 pushups in a row.....
This is equivalent to the average person who doesnt workout but tries to do 100 pushups a day. It improves posture, and makes your core more stable and strong.
Its useless for 90% of us did u not consider the overly obese?

Well if the time account for your phone is during work or in conjunction of doing something else such as your on your phone while cooking your kids dinner. Wouldnt make much time.
6am wake up, take your kids to school.
Work 9-5
6pm cook your kids dinner
7 to 8pm, one can hit thr gym or is "on their phone" for an hour or two until 10pm before they past out to.go.back to worknin the morning.
This doesnt cover overtime, or working a 2nd shift etc.
Im not making excuses, im single, no kids so i literally have no excuse.
@@Richard-tj1yh better than nothing
If you're working out to lose weight. Don't check the normal scale because muscle weighs more than fat. I have a scale that measures my fat percentage, water percentage, add pulse. I've been going down on my fat percentage (I'm getting skinnier) but my weight has been going up. I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm trying to gain fat and muscle because I'm underweight.
P.s. For some reason the scale also tells the weather.
Shiningsheep 5 what's the scale called. I really enjoy frequent weather updates.
Shinings
Exactly.
Does it tell the future?
I gave you like just 'cause of the weather on the scale
he did that even when woke up in Bangkok after doing drugs with Bradley Cooper
shlok saxena funny comment
haha i get it,because he looks like will smith
Hey that's zach!
Shit dude I died laughing
Nice one,haha...
i watched this full video while lying on bed and now it makes me feel more tired!!!........
Divyang Zaveri
hahaha 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Me too😄😄
Divyang Zaveri Same
Divyang Zaveri
close enough
The target audience here are the people who don't work out at-all (like me). If your already working out regularly then your body has adapted before you started.
James Shuster i need muscles but not the weight loss,i have a very high metabolism,and if i lose any more weight im screwed,because im already under weight.
Isaias Acosta just eat chicken and potatoes and don't do cardio 😉 simple
This is misleading. He achieved nothing and it was a waste of time. I don't care what he looks like in the tux. He should have cut the crap and recommended people work a bit harder than that to get something out of their time.
Lift weights, keep getting stronger. And eat your chicken :)
Lasa you are misleading. .. he gave an honest account of his experience
it's because of your diet any workout can't out weigh a bad diet
Jonathan awx tell that to Michael Phelps
Don't listen to the other guys, they clearly know nothing about bad diets. You can eat 2500 calories a day and it can still be considered a good diet depending on what you eat and how much you weigh. A bad diet is about WHAT you eat, not HOW MUCH you eat.
Nick Lukas It's actually both...
Blue Paradox yes but the people above are assuming that high calories = bad diet. But if you are heavier, naturally you are going to eat more than a skinny person. I guess I worded it kinda wrong
Jonathan awx type into RUclips 'furious pete' and gain some knowledge
Nice to see an honest review for once. I guarantee if he keeps this up and adds a few weights for biceps, worked his back to keep his core/ posture in good stead and looked at his diet he would definitely continue to see results. There is no magical fast track to fitness. But he looks good anyway and feeling happy and positive is a very big deal!
Primo X He already works out with weights. He does it at night or after work. He stated this in the video.
steroids? @Primo X
Pablo Vidal Peinado, lets do some math. 7 is greater than 0. Lookie there, people that usually don't workout benefited. It's a START AND you can increase the intensity.
Pablo Vidal Peinado
Whats ridiculous? giving legitmate advice to overly fat/obese individuals who never did a pushup in their lives to make an attempt to make a goal, and accomplish that goal?
What do u suggest for ppl who cant even jog for 1/4 of a mile? Hit the gym and do some deadlifts?
Go ahead dr youtube, please endow me with ur intelligence
It take 6 to 8 weeks to see true changes in your body from the day you start exercising It doesnt happen overnight nor in a month. You can get an effective intense workout in 4-8 minutes thus HIIT or tabata (which is 20 sec going all in with all you got with a exercise like push up or dead lifts, then 10 sec rest,repeat for 8 rounds. )you will amaze at how 7 min workout will make you sore for days, if done correctly. Just today, i did 50 100lbs dead lifts then 75 each of 50lbs kettle rows, 65lbs land mine thruster, 50lbs kettle bell dead lifts to end with 2 min planks.all done in 15-20 min. Yesterday 100 each of squats, push up, sit ups, and leg lifts
Since he said he didn't lose a lot of weight, I'm thinking he lost inches. He was able to fit his tux, and he did look great in it I might add.
I won't do anything that would make me lose inches.
LuvLiLyn that was hos only goal.
Ra fico lost inches but physical fitness greatly improved
S Perera?? you cant lose inches.
Ra fico's joke is a dirty joke why does no one get it
I appreciate his effort and his consistency
Because being consistent is really hard
Love the honesty in this video. Most people look for immediate results and quit. But the dude scoped out the good and the bad. Thumbs up.
I feel the same way. Didn't see any results but I had more energy throughout my day with just one set. 7 minutes for more energy, worth it to me.
When you work out you're gaining muscle. You'll have to see other changes like clothes size stomach shrinkage etc. Please don't look at a scale.
This is the reality of a 7 minute workout for 30 days. It makes you feel good. You trim a couple of pounds. And it sharpens your brain.
Best part is the addiction you get from doing it. Which means it's the PERFECT first step to getting active. 🙌💚
I loved how honest this video was!
Jen Alviar agreed
L O N D O N
Sense some sarcasm here.
For real. Most videos are like, this was life changing. This dude was just like, it was fine. Which surprisingly makes me want to try it out more.
I've been doing 2 sets of the 7 minute workout every day before work for the last 2 or 3 months. Biggest difference is I find my mood and energy level is boosted throughout my entire workday, a lot of my co-workers ask what my secret is. Effect on body is noticable, but not dramatic, I find it really helps with core and quad conditioning
Only 30 days?! KEEP GOING!! You're replacing fat with muscle so it makes sense the scale didn't move much. That tux pic was smokin' hot and I am jumping on here to comment (which I rarely do) to encourage you to keep it up. I didn't see results from my HIIT workouts for MONTHS. And now after over six months I'm seeing the muscle form and it's incredible. I look good and feel even better. This video was great and I appreciate your honesty. I'm here to nudge you to keep it up!
What? Does your body get rid of the fat and the muscles replaces the fat??
@@thomasespas3990 when you gain muscle your body burns more fat to help maintain that muscle so technically the muscles eat the fat. Also your metabolism increases and you are able to eat more because muscle cells need more energy than fat cells and in order to get that energy you have to eat.
I completed two days of the seven- minute workout and my husband noticed the change in my mood and energy instantly.
I do 10 min intensity workout everyday and it has worked for me. It depends on the diet, and your metabolism too.
You look fine as hell.
It depends on the diet, period. You cannot out-exercise a bad diet, and certainly not with 7 or 10 minutes a day.
Me too!! I do a 10min workout pedaling on my recumbent bike for 10 seconds as hard as I can then rest for ten (slow pedaling so my bike will keep the time) and keep repeating until the 10 minutes is up. BEST HIIT I'VE DONE WITH DEFINITE RESULTS! I did no other exercises and cut back but still ate what I wanted and dropped 16 pounds...I'd say in a couple of months but I only did the workout 3 sometimes 4 days a week--no more. I love it cause I have back issues and a great way to get results!!! Glad the HIIT helps you too. I follow a guy on you tube and his video counts for me (including the resting 10 minutes)!!!
1:41 it seems like the main intent is to help build the habit by introducing an activity that seems easy and fast. It's a really good idea.
My 7 minute workout 3 minutes sat down and 4 minutes lay down.
Roppo Barber Lmaoooo
Ryan N/A No no you should take it easy stick to the 7 minutes it can tire you out.
Roppo Barber same as me
&reas Bimmer. Yes er sure i do, honest.
&reas Bimmer My philosophy is why run when you can walk, why walk when you can stand up, why stand up when you can sit down and why sit down when you can lie down.
You looked great in the tux man
He didn't lose much weight but it depends on his diet.. he said he didn't change his diet so maybe someone should try this out as well as eat clean for 30 days and the results should be a lot better.
EdVentures diet is hella important,i used to do this hiit stuff for a year but with the same freaking food(bigmac and stuffs)
yep throughout the year i lose about 30 pounds at thats a lot,but not that great becuz it takes a whole freaking year
but imagine with a clean diet i bet 30 pounds can be shed in less than a month
I am very determined to lose 20 lbs this year,so I am gonna start doing quick HIIT workout and running and eat healthy,hope it s gonna work
Cristina Lori Basically eat quality food, ~150-200g carbs ~80-100g protein ~70-80g fat with 20min HIIT 3 times a week and strength training(gym)3-4 times a week and you'll lose 20 pounds in 2-3 months hope this helped xD
Cristina Lori me too ! Im always very motivated in the beginning than get lazy. But I hope I'll stick to it .. good luck to you !
I just discovered that the best way to lose weight(slowly)and doing exercises,is to do them ocasionally but frequently because in that way,you will create a habit and so a healthy lifestyle.I lost 6 pounds last month by simply eating a little less and drinking more water because duh,is summetime and we need extra hydration.
Good luck for you too!
weight loss isn't always the best indicator of a great workout. your body fat percentage, muscle to fat ratio, etc can all change without losing a lot of pounds. kudos for the month of work!
Chris Wang , that's why I hate shows like The Biggest Loser. Some poor contestant busts his/her butt to eat right and exercise to lose weight, but doesn't win in the end since the newly gained muscle is working against him/her.
But fat weighs more than muscle,and from the little i have seen of this kind of shows the contestnat do mostly cardio,wich helps you lose weight,not putting up muscles,and they start a new healthy diet,wich also really helps with weight loss.
You're right,i got confused,and maybe being high at that moment didnt help XD
Thanks for reminding me about this comment
Loya Frostwind wat?
The most realistic and practical endorsement/ review I've ever seen for an exercise.
I appreciate the review he talks about what was lacking, what was hard, how he made personal changes to his needs, and what was good/working. I am looking to get started with a simple workout and have been checking out RUclips for some good beginner workouts. Looked mighty fine in that tuxedo! 😊
Your honest review really boosted my morale to keep working out at home daily for 20 mins while incorporating a good diet too. I have kept up with this for a week now and eager to see what happens when I complete a month. Thanks
hey, how did it go? three year update? 👀
Great job Kevin ,thanks for documenting this I truly appreciate your commitment to your workout goals
I know this is an older video and we know a lot more about the benefits of interval training. Many of these are also key functional movements essential to keep our boys from seizing up as we age. He did a great job and starting with one change can help us to make more changes.
I was thinking of trying this, but like you, I have terrible knees, so I don't know. I used to do Pilates(beginners) maybe 3 times a week and walked a lot, that worked very well for me. I'm going to go back to that. I'm 60 now and I've done all the diets and exercise stuff and really the best for me was the "Eat less, Move more" motto. and believe me when I tell you I love food and have a ferocious appetite. Thanks for posting this and by the way, you look fantastic, as far as appearance, you don't need to change a thing. But it's good to be healthier.
Thanks again, this was very helpful
He lost a couple of pounds while still having the same diet he had before, isn't that terrific results?
Working out is so great when your body starts asking for it. If someday you feel down, start working out, that kind of control over your body feels so good.
I do a similar workout for around 10 minutes a day but with a 1600 calorie diet. It's worked wonders on jump starting my metabolism. I've accelerated the weight loss a bit and also after a month the body does look slightly mored toned but nothing that noticeable. Just healthy.
Don't be discouraged to do lunges when you have bad knees. Most people do them wrong and I think I saw you make the same mistakes. It's very important that the knee that is going out or "doing the lunge" ends up bending at a 90 degree angle. Most people don't take a long enough stride and end up putting pressure on the knee because it's not supported properly.
I think it makes sense that he keeps his meal the same so we will know what is the true result of the workout and not the meal change?
FluffyUnicorn no no no
This wont take you anywhrre
The propose of this video is testing 7 minute workout not try to lose weight. If it work because of meal change then you can't claim it work.
Paperism ok but the way working out works is that you have to workout AND eat good to where you’re getting all your vegetables and proteins in, you can’t just pick or choose, you have to do both to get the best results. If I’m a. Pudgy guy and I workout every day for 5 months yet barely see any difference in my body, it’s because you’re not eating right. Working you core for 5 months is bound to get your abs showing a little bit but they won’t show if your body fat is covering them. Think of it like this, protein and vegetable help *build up * muscle. Working out gains muscle and makes you lose weight if you’re not eating how you’re supposed to. However *if* you are eating how you’re supposed to then you won’t lose that much weight(unless you’re fat)and instead of having 170lb of fat and muscle on your body, now you have 170lb of almost pure muscle on you. You’re burning the fat and *building up the muscle in its place* causing your body to start to look tone and ripped
You are the only smart person in the comments so far. Congrats, but also rather depressing.
This is the best workout period. Had high cholesterol and high liver fat. I did 7 days workout for 40 days ( 4 times a weak) as my doctor suggested and my results were completely normal . Even doctors were surprised . I try to do it once a weak . Absolutely recommended . If you are doing review of exercise it's better to mix in some blood tests results .
Honest n straight to the point , Love it. This was helpful
I appreciate your thorough, honest review of this workout.
Love it! 🤩 I just got done working out every day for a week myself! Can highly recommend trying a challenge like this! I experienced it as a really powerful mental exercise to see how much we can actually push through our physical pain, and crush our own limiting beliefs! 😁 I used to believe I couldn't run on the same day as I did leg day in the gym, well I was wrong 😊🙏
At last, someone we can relate to. He was in good shape to begin with though. Pretty decent how he did those push ups, lounges and carried on. At the end 'I take it'. Haha. Who wouldn't want to fit into something we dream to fit into for a while? Oh my GOSH that"s great improvement. Losing cms is just as important, not to mention the mental impact. Proven again, the body responds to CONSISTENCY more than anything. Excellent work. He seems like someone you don't want to mess around with... Straigh forward, honest, neat, simple and smart. Well done! Xxx
I dig the video, good job keeping it honest and up front.
Thanks for the video. I want to try this for myself. The tux looks amazing on you. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration
I totally agree with the energy boost. I mean, it enhances your mood and lasts for the entire day. Definitely not skipping morning workout. ☺
NINOO said the workout is raw
GORDON RAMSAY!
Hemant Somnathe your comment is bland
WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUUUUUUUUUCE
YOUR COMMENT IS RAWWWWWWWW
YOU FUCKING DONKEY
The kind of review I wanted for this app thanks
I agree with most of your points. I don't have a great chair for the step-ups, so I had to improvise. I did these for more than 30 days and just found them to not be as challenging anymore. I also run. I did find that I could do more on my runs and other activities when I was doing this routine a few days a week. Again, after a while, it gets old. Adding extra circuits is okay, but still not enough.
"I thought I looked damn good in it." Yeah, ya did!! Thanks for the realistic review. My main take away from your review? Probably going to try it as you said, it could be something to alternate with a regular workout plan, plus, your having tricky knees, but still surviving is always good news. Thanks for the review!!
Thanks for an honest review! I love that you got right to the point!! YES, YOU DO LOOK DAMN GOOD IN THAT TUX! 😉
Thanks for the honesty. I have people telling me I'm wasting my time lifting weights and do this instead because its all you need. Well, it depends on your goals.
I like the laid back attitude! Thanks. Either you are a good actor or you are just a natural on camera. You could be an actor!
Dude, just keep doing what you are doing, coupled with consuming the right solids and liquids, and workout with light to medium weights. Do not forget your cardio; walking, swimming, jogging/running, biking, rope jumping, and etc. Also, get your proper rest/nap and sleep, along staying positive. By the way, your video is a honest and good.
PS: Stay away from sugar, bread, alcohol, friedfood fast-food, junk food, sodas, juices, bad carbs and etc.,
Namasté.
Loved this work out since I found it. Mixed it with my stretching and at home dance lessons.
Very nice and genuine review! Thank you! The tux looks great on you!
Finally a real person with real results! Thanks!
Wish you had taken body measurements instead of relying on weight alone but I guess that's kind of what the tux thing did. Good vid, thanks for the share.
I want to work out, I have many times but I couldn't figure out why there wasn't any changes, I researched and found out that it's because of my diet, I am a really picky eater, I have been since I was 7 so it's pretty much a mental thing for me that I'm trying to battle. Good luck man!
Such a lovely personality! He needs to do more videos 👌🏻
Appreciate honest reviews. Thanks
"And I didn't change my diet either"
Sums it up right there...
Well hello ginger man. Nice job.
JKL wtf
ginger DADDDDDDY
Lmao
0:32 This became a dating video...
Love the honest review.
Well presented! Fair and honest assessment: what worked and what didn't, plus what was challenging. Bonus that the review was under under 3 minutes & didn't take 7, 15 or more minutes !
The fact that you lost weight without a diet change is pretty BA. Thats not a common occurrence, even if it only was a few pounds. Imagine what changes you would have seen in a calorie deficit.
So in summary
His mood elevated,he got stronger and lost weight
Thanks for the straight trial and review.
i love how honest this was
if you're just sweating a little bit and just breathing hard that means you're not doing HIIT correctly. In HIIT after each round you should feel like you're dying. Idk about the video he followed but the basics of HIIT is achieving maximal heart rate (or above) with little rest in between rounds
Razor9 so fucking true! when I do hiit workouts i puch my self to the point where I feel like I'm dead lol 😂. but the results are so worth it ! most effective type of workout ever!
Razor9 this is comforting bc my fatass is a fucking mess after the 7 minute workout. after he said that 1 round wasn't really that hard I almost choked on my pizza. Is it bc he didn't do the reps fast enough?
Omg, I thought my body is not well prepared for it, now this explains it all :)) I also feel like I can t breathe after HIIT, but I managed to be with 10 kg slimmer in a couple of months with only doing this kind of exercices
I think you missed the point there... It’s not just about doing an exercise for 30 seconds then rest for 10... In these 30 seconds you need to go almost as fast as you can while maintaining proper form (about 80% of your max is what normally advised), and then you get results. At least in this video it seems as though you took your time in each exercise, or maybe you didn’t but it didn’t seem as intense as this workout is supposed to be..
I’m not just trashing, and I sure don’t mean to offend.. I’m simply talking out of my own experience, to help others that maybe watching this and think it doesn’t worth it.. IT DOES WORTH IT. I did it too for about a year on and off, and after only three weeks my muscles were so much more toned that I started to get compliments from people who didn’t even know I was exercising (so you know it’s not just to be nice...). Also, I was in the best shape of my life cardiovascular wise. I remember one time when I needed to run to catch the train and I was so surprised by how easy it suddenly was.. I ran for about 10 minutes straight quite effortlessly - without running at all as part of my workout routine - the only workout I did back then was the 7 minutes workout..
BTW- this workout is especially good for those who want just to be more toned and be in a good cardiovascular shape - it’s not for building muscle mass..
Bottom line - try it for yourself, and don’t forget the crucial point that is to GO ALMOST ALL-IN in every exercise (about 80% of your max), and trust me you’ll see, and feel the difference as soon as a few weeks.
I appreciate your honesty. Brilliant.
This was a nice review. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your honest feedback from your experience. Do think that if you changed your diet during the 30 days that you may have benefited more from the 7 minute work out? Thanks for sharing.
Dude your push up's perfect, i cant even do once😂
I did my first set today. Feels good!
I liked how real this was.
Where can i find the exercises??
freakin EVERYWHERE
Tomson419 I mean like, which exercises does he use
Andreas Christensen check out anabolic alien they have vids on it
Okay thanks, i will :)
Cool! I'll check it out
You look great in the tux
Great idea. Thanks for posting
thanks for the honest review and thumbs up for committing and completeing the challenge
Get a skipping rope for cardio, gymnastic rings for strength and a kettlebell bell for cardio and strength and you are sorted
I lose weight about 5-6kg for about 2-3months countinously doing 7min work-out, easy and simple... at first yeaa... it was hard but gradually can handle it, and most important thing is food that you feeding in 😅
This is inspiring. I downloaded an app and want to try it for a few months too. And you looked great in the tux :)
Watching this was soothing. I like the way he narrates
Sometimes you have to skip the scale and pick up the measuring tape. I think you've lost inches and gained muscles.
well i lost 20 kg in 21 days by this 7 min exercise......wowww!!!! from 100 kg to 80 kg felt good
Is this true? Cause i'm doing the 5-10 min 30 day challange and i don't know if it will help:/
@Chapay Gahramanov i turned into the 30 min to 1 hour challenge, i lost 4kg and i'm still going! :) don't give up, there are days where you just want to stay in bed, but if don't do it you'll never reach your goul, watch motivation videos again and again, and also listen to music, it will be much easier and don't give up:)
@Chapay Gahramanov just remember, never give up
I think this was the most honest review I’v ever seen on RUclips.
Your right, you look great in the tux. Definitely continue even if it’s with a new format.
I like his beard
I was curious about the knee issue as well since I also hate lunges but good to know I would think you could increase intensity with a simple set of exercise bands too. Looking for something to shake up my routine without going to get a gym membership. Seems like something to try.
Let me tell you, NO ONE likes lunges 😹😹
Have you tried reverse lunges instead of the forward ones? For some reason they feel far easier on my knees.
finally a honest video. you saved my expectation. Thanks bro.
Great honest review. You look awesome in the tux!
aren't you the guy from Hangover?
Dev Grohl Lmao you think he's Zack galifiankis💀💀💀
You don't lose weight from working out. You lose weight via diet. Exercise is for general health and well-being, not for weight loss.
Thx for doing this xx
Thanks for sharing!
maybe u needed 1 more minute
You look very handsome in your tux.
thanks for your time and info
I’ve done this 7 min workout thing for a while. While it’s great to get you off the couch, eventually, like all workout routines, you’ll plateau and will need to do something else or increase the intensity to continue to see results.
He looks like a big young garden gnome
Aren’t you charming ...how long have you been defined as the worlds greatest beauty?....
this dude "had a couple drinks here and there" and "always eating out with friends" and complains about not losing much weight, you just listed the two things that prevented from losing more weight
MrWill9668 He didn't complain. xxx
Love an honest review.
Thank you for an honest review!
