The Scientific 21-Minute Workout

Anything that sounds too good to be true typically is. Especially when it's health-related. These sound familiar... and ridiculous?

Only suckers believe this stuff. (Ummm, like me and you and everyone else I know - at least until we fall for it one too many times and finally wise up.)

But when I read about the Scientific 7-Minute Workout, I have to admit I was a little intrigued. Here I am, with a background in marketing and a certification in health coaching, and they still got me with "scientific!" Darn them! That said, SEVEN minutes? Even it were as beneficial physically as a long run, how could it possibly be able to provide the same high? The same opportunity to cleanse my mind? The same feeling of accomplishment? I decided to find out yesterday morning.

The verdict: it didn't. 

So I did it again. And then again. 21 minutes later I was sweating like crazy and feeling wholly powerful. My endorphins were as high as they are after an intense run around the park and my mind was prepared to take on my inbox (and my kids)! So I'm going to take the liberty of calling this the Scientific 21-Minute Workout, at least for me.

I did this three times in a row. You?

Try it for yourself and see how many times it takes for you. Though I've just done it once, I'm predicting this to be a really fun way to vary my workout. Feels like a gym class but it's absolutely free, totally convenient and a lot shorter. All you need is yourself, a wall, a chair and, ahem... an open mind :)
