You made hundreds of hackers move their ass for 7 minutes today. That is a huge accomplishment.
This is the best compliment I've ever gotten.

#92i don't get the excitement for this 7 minutes workout, can't you just go in the gym for 1 hour 3 times a week and do some squats ? aside from this the site looks good, simple and to the point, props for it.
I do tabata most weekday mornings before work to get my body moving. This looks much more fun, and it doesn't replace my gym time, which is after work and an hour in duration.

#93This has pretty pictures. I built a command line version:
for i in `seq 16`; do echo -ne '\007' && sleep 30 && echo -ne '\007' && sleep 1 && echo -ne '\007' && sleep 10; done

#94Very cool! You got me off my butt and moving for 7 minutes and it was a great work break. A few notes for you and others: 1) There are a few that switch sides/legs and I would handle them differently. For the lunges and step-ups, I think alternating sides is good. For the side planks, I think it would be useful to give the other side a whole segment. Splitting it in half wouldn't be much of a workout. 2) This is awes…
I think it's implied that lunges and side planks are alternating; at least I have a hard time doing much more than 15 secs per side plank.

#95Oh man if I could customize this, it would be perfect. Very well done though.

I am confused about it myself. I can do a 30 second side plank (35 seconds? Not so much.) so I've been doing two sets.

#97Once you are comfortable doing this routine I would highly recommend the Insanity Workout.

#99Great idea, you could make a pretty cool app out of this: let people create routines by letting them associate pictures with exercise names and amount of seconds. They could then create workouts by creating a list of exercises and rest periods and play their routing with the timer you created. Does this exist? I want one.
Agreed! This is brilliant! Once again a wonderful example of something incredibly simple but incredibly useful. This would be particularly beneficial for Crossfit style workouts that are closely linked to a timer and where there is a different set of exercises every single day. Brilliant!
Shameless plug:
I made an app called RipDeck based on the deck of cards workout that is great for providing variety to your routine.
We have a weekly featured deck or you can create custom decks. Great for bodyweight exercises. Give it a try. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ripdeck/id409921624?mt=8
The featured decks are available on the site if you want some workout ideas for use with a regular deck of cards. http://ripdeckapp.com
