7 minute muscle system had a Buzz around it for almost three years now. Finally it was released. Jon was kind enough to send me a review copy two weeks before the release. Now I would like to share with you my 7 minute muscle review. Can you really build muscle and lose fat by working out as short as 7 minutes?
Well, It is actually a short read, but it’s it takes a while to digest since it is loaded with information. Jon had been researching some old training manuals from the 50’s, and 60’s and had been experimenting with MUSCLE BUILDING and Fat LOSS workouts as short as 7 minutes. There was actually a lot of research done on this in the “old days” (i.e. days before the steroids) and the programs worked especially well for “older” trainees who took part in the numerous studies.
(Jon actually cites over 100 research studies to support his program’s effectiveness.)
The bottom line of the program is that you can stimulate both strength and mass gains by increasing the intensity of your workouts for shorter periods. The training time is divided to two intervals the power interval and the mass interval. In the case of the first level this is just as little as 7 minutes for the other levels this can be 14 or 21 minutes. Let me tell you something these 7 minutes are a real weight lifting workout (personally I thought I qualify for the advanced level directly don’t make my mistake) these 7 minutes are intense and I mean the real intensity.
The philosophy of the program as I understand it
-
Progressive resistance where each week you either add weight or repetitions to trigger you muscles to adapt.
-
Very intense workouts, the workouts are very fast paced and even though they’re short, they are not easy in some cases. Fortunately, there’s an element of the program that uses “creative rest periods” that let you set your own pace. Anyway, ANYONE can follow these workouts whether you’re young or old, beginner or advanced.
-
John’s basic premises is that you need to stimulate as many muscle fibers as possible. This causes significant gains in strength besides muscle size.
-
Timesaving power
-
Measurable progress.
-
Multiple variations of resistance.
-
Limited, intense focus.
-
Less strain on your joints.
-
Decreased stress hormones.
-
A targeted challenge
-
Workouts are easily altered.
-
Weekends off
-
Improved sleep.
- You are someone who is looking for a new “twist” to add to your training program and willing to take a different approach.
- You’re a busy professional, mom, student, or someone who just wants to “get the workout over with” and still see results
- You’re over 40′ish (Jon IS over 40 and an expert of fitness at this age and above) and have come to the realization that you can no longer training like you were 20.
Plus…the program comes with 7 VIDEOS to help teach you this method for each body part which is pretty cool!It DOES make my “recommended” list because there ARE some people who really need a short, but effective workout because they really don’t have much time on their hands.
