Frequently Asked Questions
What is the science behind the 7-minute workout?
Published in the ACSM Health & Fitness Journal, researchers showed that 7 minutes of high-intensity circuit training (HIIT) with 30 seconds of exercise and 10 seconds of rest maximizes fat burning and cardiovascular endurance with minimal equipment.
Why is 7 minutes the gold standard for ramen eggs?
Seven minutes allows egg whites to set firmly while the core yolk remains thick, jammy, and gelatinous, which is the prized texture for ramen and gourmet salads.
Does the timer chime even if my phone is locked?
On mobile devices, mobile operating systems may suspend web timers when the screen locks. We recommend setting your display sleep timeout to 10 minutes during your workout.
Can I pause the countdown during a set?
Yes! Click the pause button at any time to catch your breath and click resume when ready.
