Intensive sessions in seven minutes Scientific research shows that the effect, but even if you have doubts, you can get started with these apps. Seven minutes exercise is better than no exercise and even people with little time can always make room seven minutes to get to work up a sweat. But which apps are there? We put five apps for the 7-minute workout in a row. Additional mazzeltje: three out of five of these apps temporarily marked down and four of the five are free

You do not need any special equipment, just a chair, a wall and evenueel a yoga mat to lie. Comfortable on the ground For most exercises, you use your own body weight, for example during the imprinting, the jumping jacks, squats, tricep dips and more. The exercises are fixed, the duration as well. In short 7-minute apps developers need only have to focus on the present as clearly as possible the exercises in the app
