Joel told us about the plans he had to roll out an online fitness program back then and it is now about to be released to the general public!

Though our initial exposure to 7MW was the same, we have very different health reasons for participating, and now embracing, this innovative way to get in shape.

In future posts we’ll share with you our personal stories and keep you posted on our progress.

So, what exactly is 7 Minute Workout and why did we decide to join as Beta Testers?   7 Minute Workout is based on the concept of achieving temporary positive muscular failure.  Rather than working out all your major muscle groups every two or three days, doing sets of  reps of the same exercises, you instead, pin point a specific muscle group and do targeted exercises in one rep to the point that your muscles fail.  The goal is to accomplish failure within ONE rep, so the key is adding enough resistance or weight to your routine to get to that result.  There are usually 4-6 exercises that are included in a day’s set, and once you get to know the routine, you can finish up your exercise in about 7 minutes .

There’s more to this workout philosophy.   By achieving temporary positive muscular failure,  you stimulate your muscles to grow.  It takes about ten days for your muscles to sufficiently recuperate, so 7 Minute Workout is broken down into 5 separate exercise sets which target a specific muscle group, giving your muscles ample time to grow!   Since muscle burns more calories than fat, your result is an increase in the amount of calories you burn, helping you to get in shape effectively.

Combined with a fully integrated members area that includes a food tracker to help you with your nutritional goals, live webinars to educate and motivate, and a very active social community forum, 7 Minute Workout promises to be a fitness program that will cause a paradigm shift in how many of us view getting in shape!
