7 minutes. That’s the amount of time needed to do a quick, scientifically proven, high intensity workout using the free New York Times Workouts app. The Scientific 7-Minute Workout is based on a research paper published in the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) journal. It outlines a 7 minute “High intensity circuit training (HCIT)” workout involving 12 exercises that utilize a chair, a wall and your own body weight. This is supposed to be the equivalent of doing a long run and some weight training condensed into 7 minutes. Very user friendly, the app features a scrollable screen with a brief description of the exercises you will be doing. Clicking the ‘Begin Workout’ button at the bottom of the screen starts the routine, which then displays an animation and description of how the exercise is done, and a countdown timer. After every 30-second workout there is a 10-second rest screen with a preview of the upcoming exercise. The web-based app is free of charge and can be found on the NY Times website nyti.ms/1ucqdqB #AppyandHealthy
