The 7 minute body is a book that provides users with exercises that not only help them to lose weight but that also help them keep the weight off. It provides you with a permanent solution to your overweight problems, all without overworking yourself.

The exercises found in the book are not hard to do, the most difficult in my opinion would be the abdominal reverse curl. This exercise uses the abdominal muscles but not all of them. It thus has the capability to give profound results by maintain the use of more than one muscle group.

To do this move you need to lay flat on a sturdy surface. Now bend your knees and lift them up to your hips while pulling in your abdominal muscles towards your spine. As you exhale, push your spine into the surface that you are lying on. Your hips should retract onto the spine. Then inhale and slowly go back to the starting position.

Next, Another of the moves is the Bicycle Kick. For this move you will lay flat on your back while bringing up your knees to about a 90 degree angle bringing your thighs up to the ceiling. Bring both hands behind both ears and start moving your legs in kicking motions. While doing this move your torso to the opposite knee as it is drawn inward toward your body.

There is also the exercise crunch twist that is similar to the above. It too is highlighted in the 7 minute body review. For this move you are required to lay on your back with your fingers laced behind your head. Now lift your head and shoulders slightly up without using your hands. While doing this you will need to lift your feet about 1 – 2 inches above the floor. You will turn your left elbow toward the right knee and then repeat in the opposite direction. After each rep, return to the floor for a slight pause then start again.

There is also the reverse crunch is the alternate to the above mentioned crunch twist. As always, lay flat and lace your hands behind your head. Keep your head perpendicular to your chest while your knees remain at a 90 degree angle. Lift your feet only about 1 – 2 inches off of the ground. Now lift your knees toward your head using your abdomen to pull your chest towards your knees then retreat in both directions but let neither your head nor your feet touch the floor before you come up again. This will condition the muscles of your abdomen.

There is also the super man exercise that helps you to develop core and spinal strength as well as stability. You also work the gluteals as well as the shoulder blade retractors. It requires you to go down on all fours with your knees hip distance apart a

nd your palms flat on the floor with them shoulder length apart. Draw your abdominal muscles in to your spine then exhale and lift opposite arms and legs so that they will be parallel to the floor. Inhale as you return them to the starting position then exhale and repeat on the other side.

These exercises can all be done in 7 minutes each day so getting your body into shame using this program will not be difficult at all. They are all easily achieved and can be done by even people who have never exercised in their lives.
