You may have seen this article about how sports scientists have devised a 7 (actually more like 8 if you include the short breaks) minute workout that is supposed to be as effective as a much longer cardio workout. Here's the article: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-minute-workout/You're supposed to do each of the 12 exercises for 30 seconds each, with 10 seconds in between. The other main thing is that you're supposed to keep your energy level at a 8-9 the whole time; in other words - PUSH IT. I tried it a few times and found that it was difficult to get the timing right. I was using my phone and it was seriously interrupting my flow to keep checking how much time had elapsed while doing each exercise. So I decided to make this video. It sings to you, tries to inspire you with funny metaphors for each exercise, and most importantly, it gives you audio cues with regards to timing. USE IT! YAY! LET'S ALL GET IN SHAPE!http://jonathanmann.netFOLLOW me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/songadaymannLIKE me on Facebook:http://www.facebook.com/songadaymannCALL my Google Voice #:(510) 402-6081SEND me stuff the old fashioned way:Jonathan Mann144 N. 7th St. PMB 128Brooklyn, NY 11249FOLLOW me on SoundCloud:http://soundcloud.com/jonathanmannFOLLOW me on Instagram: My username is jonathanmannBE on my mailing list: http://tinyletter.com/jonathanmannDO what they do on Google+: http://bit.ly/mannplusLISTEN to my podcast:http://www.alwaysmaking.us
Song and guitar tab available only from http://jongomm.com/store You can Pay What You Want for the song, and a percentage of what you pay goes to STEPS, a charity that supports people with clubfoot, hip dysplasia and other lower limb conditions, in honour of my beautiful niece Freya. http://www.steps-charity.org.uk/ This is my cover of the Chaka Khan dancefloor classic from 1982. When I was a kid, I played gigs in pubs in Blackpool, and often my audience was mostly elderly ladies spending their pension money on bacardi! Quite often they'd tolerate my original songs and blues covers for only so long, and eventually a representative would be sent over to remonstrate with me. "Excuse me young man, please can you play something we can dance to?" So this is my emergency disco song. GET DOWN! The video was made at The Northern Film School by the superpeople Danielle Millea and Owen Plummer http://www.northernfilmschool.co.uk/
