7 minute timer
A free 7 minute timer that starts with one click or the Space bar. It beats a phone timer for workouts because the ring and digits are readable from across the room. Also searched as 7 min timer, timer 7 minutes, 7 minute countdown.
What fits in 7 minutes
- Fitness: the 7-minute workout, 12 exercises at 30 seconds each with 10-second rests.
- Cooking: jammy eggs, soft and custardy in the middle, from boiling water.
- Study: summarizing one textbook page in your own words, then closing the book.
- Household: watering every houseplant in the apartment.
- Kids: one picture book read aloud at bedtime, then lights out.
The 7-minute workout order
Jumping jacks, wall sit, push-ups, abdominal crunches, step-ups onto a chair, squats, triceps dips on a chair, plank, high knees, lunges, push-ups with rotation, side plank. Thirty seconds each, ten seconds between moves. Go as hard as your fitness allows and stop if anything hurts. This is not medical advice.
If you would rather hear a beep at every switch, the HIIT timer explains how to use short repeating intervals.
Tip: press 7 to set seven minutes on any aTimer page, then tick Repeat for a second or third round. Neighbors: the 6 minute timer and the 8 minute timer. For timing laps rather than a fixed length, use the stopwatch.
Frequently asked questions
What is the 7-minute workout?
A bodyweight circuit of 12 exercises, each done for 30 seconds with 10 seconds of rest. It was published in the ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal in 2013 and needs only a chair and a wall.
How do I get a jammy egg in 7 minutes?
Lower a large fridge-cold egg into boiling water and set 7 minutes. The yolk comes out soft and custardy rather than runny. Cool it in cold water before peeling.
Can I run several 7-minute rounds in a row?
Tick Repeat before you press Start. When the alarm ends the timer restarts automatically, so three rounds need no extra clicks.
