"The 7-Minute Workout"—a workout you can do just about anywhere with very little time. The collection of movements are meant to be performed with no more rest than is required to change stations. To do the workout, start off with 30 seconds of as many jumping jacks as you can, than transition to the wall-sit for 30 seconds, then 30 seconds of push-ups. And so on. Jordan says you can do the circuit several times over if your fitness (and time) allow for it.
1. Jumping jacks
2. Wall sit
3. Push-up
4. Abdominal crunch
5. Step-up onto chair
6. Squat Lower body
7. Triceps dip on chair
8. Plank hold
9. High knees/running in place
10. Lunge
11. Push-up and rotation
12. Side plank
