Get Fit In Just 7 Minutes A Day!

Think you've got no time to exercise? Think again...just a few minutes in the morning is all it takes to a fitter, trimmer you.

Yes, we know… finding the time to shower and brush your hair in the morning is hard enough, let alone even thinking about trying to squeeze in a workout. But, what if we told you that seven minutes getting your sweat on is all it takes to make a difference? You don’t even have to leave the house – just set your alarm a little earlier and get straight to it. There’s no need for fancy gym equipment either; using your body weight as resistance is enough to get you on the fast-track to a fitter bod.
MORNING GLORY
Working out in the AM is not just an excuse to get it out the way – it could help you get in shape faster, too. ‘Exercising in the morning, on an empty stomach, is a great way to burn fat,’ says Louise Day, fitness director at Champneys. ‘Research shows that fasting (which is essentially what happens overnight as we sleep) leads to increased adrenalin and reduced insulin levels, creating an environment that is more conducive to the breakdown of fat for energy.’ That means you’ll burn more calories throughout the day, and all those endorphins will put you in a great mood, too.
LUCKY NUMBER 7
While guidelines suggest we should all exercise for at least 150 minutes a week, a third of us admit to managing less than one 30-minute session a month*. Oops. Thankfully, new research says that just seven minutes a few days a week could be enough; and that for each minute you exercise, you could actually lengthen your life by seven minutes**.
