I have not done any workout in over 10 years due to laziness and lack of motivation; tried multiple ways to be more active. Decided to try this app and it was perfect for about 10 days. I was in pain and fatigued as I should be, but workouts were short and varied enough to keep my attention and make me want to do them daily. The rest days were a godsend too. Then I noticed the increases that caused times > 7 minutes, even if done quickly (>10 min). Starting to lose interest and motivation now :/
The app is the simplest way to get in your daily cardio, bodyweight, and general wellness. I use it for four circuits of the classic, five days a week. Being 33, I'm in better shape then some of my friends in their 20s. I don't build mass, but if you have functional strength, you don't need it. Function over form. I'm 6'1 160ish pounds. I only wish it had the option of the modified versions of certain things I do, like Tyson pushups and burpees.
If you are looking for a way to ease into a workout routine, this is a good way to start. Be warned, however, that if you move through a program such as the 30 Day Challenge, it will increase the time investment way beyond 7 minutes as you go (many days the scheduled workout took me ~30 minutes). It is effective though. The app itself is somewhat rudimentary, with simple cartoon drawings demonstrating the exercises and a monotone electronic voice giving instructions.
The 7 minute workout in the app (and there are other workouts to choose from as well) is good cardio, for myself. My one problem with the app is lack of customization with workouts. I do various muscle building exercises each day in addition to this app, and the 7 min workout involves working out muscles I did the day before. So, if I could remove certain exercises in the workout and replace it with some other exercises to choose from, that would be great and would make the app 5 stars 100%.
I love the simplicity of this app. It does exactly what it says it's going to do, and makes working out really simple and accessible. My boyfriend has the same app on his iphone though, and it has more workouts and more features than my Android app, such as being able to connect to your music through the app. This app could do with a few more workouts, such as more/more difficult basic exercises for varoety, and workouts focused on missing muscle groups like back and shoulders.
exactly what I need to stay motivated. i love the videos for each exercise so if it is a new move, i am not left behind. so much room for advancement and so excited to complete medium and hard levels next for the full body workouts. also love that it is completely flexible. if you have a lower body injury then choose an upper body workout plan for the duration of your physical therapy and don't stay stagnant with all of your fitness areas!!! I have so much praise for this app. thank you!!!!
I needed something that I could do quickly everyday to get myself in the habit of working out. I do one of the 30-day challenges every morning and one of the guided exercises in the evening. This is simple, very effective, and the UX is helpful in all the right ways. You can customize the lengths of each round so as you improve, you can make it more challenging. I've lost 20 lbs in 6 months, in no small part to the habits this app fostered.
Great way to get started exercising, using just your body & a mat. Once you go through the 30-day programs, starting where its appropriate for your fitness level, you will be in much better shape and may want to invest in equipment. It got me started. I'm only a week in & I'm already thinking about eating healthier and moving better. Getting your heart rate up for 10-15 minutes a day is a great way to begin developing healthier habits. There are add-on apps for more, if you need more.
I'm a 74-yr-old female. Have been using this app for over a year now & seeing good results. My doctor who told me about the app, reminded me that it's not only strength training but other things like balance. I enjoy this more than weight machines at the gym because I can do it daily in the comfort of my home during all seasons & types of weather & on my schedule!! 👍👍
If you are even a little bit overweight & senstive to it, dont enter your BMI. It will not only remind you how close to the red you are when opening with settings but also immediatly after a strenuous workout. Great app if already in shape. Not really beginner friendly to anyone struggling with weight issues. Maybe would be better for users to catalogue that info to be aware of in case of changes but focus more on progress? Exercise should release dopamine, not stress you out more.
Great app! I've been using it off and on since it came out years ago. Getting the motivation to work out is hard and I honestly don't like doing it but I know my body needs it. I really like this app because it's the fastest workout I've seen so far, it's go at your own pace (more so do as much as you can within the time limit) and it seems to encompass a little bit of everything (cardio, arms, legs, abs). All of it can be done at home too just before work, dinner, etc.
a great app in principle, and I have used it almost since its creation. However, recently the ads have changed substantially, and turned from a mild bother to intolerably long. This happened once before, and the creators pulled back for a couple of years (after feedback?) Maybe Temu just pays so well that it's worth trying again. If there was an option of buy once, or ad-free subscription, I might take it, but there isn't! So I have changed to a competitor... good luck with Temu!
Nice app. it's very good for getting your heart rate up and working up a sweat. intertwine interesting exercises. There's one super annoying problem though, the rest times. it's always 5 sec by default and that's just not enough time to get ready or to delay the rest time! it doesn't consider catching your breath and the time it takes to get to your phone after getting out of the current workout position and the time it takes to actually figure out the exercise ( some arent so easy / clear)
I love this app. I started with hard course but even at home it does all excercise I need. Two things can be slightly negative. 1. There are several jumping excercises which may be difficult for some who live in fragile flat. :) 2. The course gets harder toward the end and also longer. It takes me usually 20 minutes or more. So if you want to keep 7 minutes but no longer, you may need to skip some exercise. But overall great. I wonder what to do after finishing all courses.
Overall, this is a good workout app, especially the 7 minute format, which has a good variety of exercises (though they're the same every day). The 30 day workout plans are not so good. There's more exercise variety, but you can't preview plans, so you have to guess what level you're at and then find out if that was a good choice days later. Difficulty also = amount of reps, so today on Medium Plan 1, I had to do 80 lunges (2 kinds). Really boring and there's no options to customise the plans.
The 7 Minutes Workout app is one of the best workout apps for toning up, increasing fitness, reducing weight, feeling better and more positive. Adding a little more time between exercises would be better in order to adjust position into the exercises after completion. Other than that I really like it. If your wanting to increase your fitness then this app can really help achieve that goal.
Thanks for developing the app. I think if there are more exercise set, it will probably make me to buy it. But among different 7 Minutes workout and other workout app, this one might be a very good design and easy to use app. Especially upper body will be what I need. But among all app, your app is definitely the one which encourage me to do the most 7 Minutes workout,, I make it more than 7 minute to improve my cardio and muscle strength. Update: recently not work with google fit
I really enjoy working out with this app. It only lasts 7 minutes but very impactful. I love the fact that you can choose how intense you want it, from easy, medium ect. I also like the 30 days challenge option, Its a great way of motivating yourself to work out and it's a great way to keep track of your work out sessions. I particularly love the fact that it contains minimal ladverts. Over all this app is great for all, beginners and more advanced users.
This is a really good app dont get me wrong but the scalability of it is a bit off for me (the exercises get too hard too quick, and it should be modified by my feedback every time i complete a workout, which it isn't). I therefore end up doing about 100 squat exercises the first day and 120 the next on medium 1. It is really taxing on abs and legs and not so much on upper body. Otherwise a good idea but poorly implemented. It exudes an overall feeling of abandonment from the devs.
I've been using this app for several years and absolutely love it. The 30 day challenges increase in difficulty enough that by the end you're extremely satisfied and the 7 minute workouts are great in that this seems to be the only app where the exercise is announced along with the timer - so you don't have to keep checking your phone to see whats next!
