However, you still want to do something good for your body, so here are three suggestions for a quickie workout. Yes, you do have 7 minutes to fire up your muscles and boost your metabolism.

• Push ups on the bench
• Chest press (heavy weights)

• Upright rows (go heavy)
• Lateral raises (moderate weight)
• Biceps curls (go heavy)
• Triceps dips on the bench
• Bent-over back rows (go heavy)
• Seated back rows (go as heavy as you can)
