Seven-minute chair workout improves heart health

A 7-minute workout using only a chair can significantly improve heart health and physical fitness. Developed by exercise physiologist Chris Jordan, this low-impact routine consists of 12 exercises performed for 30 seconds each, alternating upper and lower body movements. It aims to increase heart rate and respiration safely. A 2023 study found that 7-minute interval training on a stationary bike was as effective as longer workouts and was preferred by participants for being less tedious.
