What does fit think about the seven minutes workout, popularized by the nyt? Other than it actually being 21 minutes.

if you do this every day for a week you will maintain good health, as long as your diet is good and you add in 2 hours of cardio a week. There are no gains to be made with this, unless you are very weak to begin with.
the squats have a potential to fuck up your back

7 minutes to do all 12 exercises? Thats 35 seconds per exercise. Might as well just walk to the fridge and back to the couch.
21 minutes to do all 12 exercises? Thats 1 minute and 45 seconds per exercise.
This some kind of joke?

If people wanted to sell easy workout advice they should advocate for playing team sports or joining activity classes (yoga class, training groups for races, etc.) Don't understand how people fall for this shit. I see the same kind of "shortcuts" for meditation and journaling as well.

Good going, Ameristan.
This will increase your endurance and make you leaner if you're an unfit normie. The news article isn't far off the truth. It's about as effective as doing some jogging, 90% of which is walking because you're an unfit normie and going to the gym and flailing around with 20lb dumbbells because you're still an unfit normie. It does worry me that they believe a typical american can do a 90 degree step up without cheating.

Isometrics can work extremely well for a lot of people, and you develop a lot of muscle control. There's that one black guy from prison that's ripped as fuck and he has youtube videoe showing his isometrics. I've done things similar to what was posted in the OP, but the kicker is you need to focus on and perfect the form of each and every workout to be nearly flawless in order to get significant results.
The workouts themselves are great, but it's too easy to let form and posture ruin the progress so I wouldn't recommend it for most people. My routine lasted around 35-40 mins so I'd definitely recommend going at it longer than 21.

Some of those things are impossible for typical normies, at least in good form. Nothing wrong with it if you have good eating habbits and want to remain healthy.

This is good if you are fat. A skinny guy doing squats with the bar (e.g. Stronglifts) is the same a a guy with no bar and 45 lbs over his lean body weight.
