7 NUMBER OF MINUTES YOU NEED TO WORK OUT TO SEE BENEFITS
starting to exercise, you don’t need to slog through a long session.

We’re such believers in the seven-minute workout that we created a whole book of them (). Caveat: “A more seasoned trainee will need a higher threshold to see increases in fitness,” says clinical exercise physiologist Dean Somerset, C.E.P., owner of Somerset Fitness in Edmonton.
