7-Minute SIT Workout for Muscle Development and Belly Fat Loss

7-Minute SIT Workout for Muscle Development and Belly Fat Loss

What is a SIT Workout?

A SIT workout, or Strength-Interval Training, is a high-intensity, low-impact exercise method that combines strength-building movements with short bursts of maximum effort followed by brief rest periods.

7 min Workout

Unlike traditional cardio-focused interval training (e.g., sprinting), SIT emphasizes resistance-based exercises (e.g., squats, push-ups, planks) to develop muscle structure, boost metabolism, and promote fat loss without relying on running or high-impact cardio.

Typically, a SIT workout involves a series of exercises performed for 20–30 seconds at near-maximum intensity, followed by 10–15 seconds of rest, completed in a compact timeframe (e.g., 7 minutes).

Inspired by programs like the Svelte "One and Done," SIT is designed to maximize muscle engagement and calorie burn efficiently, making it ideal for those seeking to build strength and lose fat, such as targeting a 20–25-pound weight loss, while being gentle on joints.

Instructions

  • Perform each exercise for 20 seconds at maximum effort, followed by 10 seconds of rest.

  • Complete the sequence once (7 minutes total). For advanced progress, repeat 2–3 times with a 1-minute rest between rounds.

  • Warm up with 1–2 minutes of light stretching (e.g., arm circles, leg swings) before starting.

  • Focus on proper form to prevent injury and engage core muscles throughout.

  • Rest for 30–60 seconds between exercises if needed, but aim to minimize rest for intensity.
