7 minutes? I guess anything is better than nothing. However:

Reddit motto #1 - lawyer up and hit the gym.

Reddit motto #2 - Squats, bench, and dead lifts.

I always thought it was a running Reddit joke. However, after going to the gym for years and not seeing wow-type results, I gave #2 a try. After 3 months of it, I have to be honest and say that I'm pretty impressed with the results. I've lost a lot of fat and am far stronger and fitter. But 7 minutes? No. My normal sessions are around 2 hours. A podcast or two, and time flies.

The actual article recommends more than 7 minutes.

A problem for any routine is that people might not have a reasonable baseline for what intense activity actual is.

> Squats, bench, and dead lifts

Those plus overhead press and some rows (the Stronglifts 5x5 and Madcow 5x5 methods) will increase your strength dramatically in just a few months. Try it once and you'll never look back.
