This is workout one, the 7 Minute Workout from The Best Quick Workouts for All-Day Energy article. If you haven’t heard of the 7 Minute Workout yet, this is a great workout that can be done in your very own living room or in a gym.
If you are thinking to yourself, “How can anything that’s only 7 minutes long work?”, you are not alone! Try it and trust me, you will be hoping the 7 minutes is over within the first 3! Go all out for these 7 minutes for the most benefit. If you have more time, do this workout in circuits up to 3-4 times in a row with 1 minute in between for rest for a well-rounded half hour. Better yet, this workout is equipment-free except for a chair (you could also use a stair or sturdy bench), which means it can be done even while traveling.
Be aware of jumping cautiously as it is not recommended for those with joint or back problems.
