Last month, Apple offered a free holiday playlist through the Apple Store app for iPhone. This month, in the same manner, it's offering the 7 Minute Workout Challenge app for free, effectively encouraging users to "jump into the new year."

Developed by Fitness Guide and released in July 2013, 7 Minute Workout Challenge is a research-backed workout program app that helps you work toward your fitness goals in, as its name suggests, just 7 minutes:

Researchers have selected 12 exercises that are performed for 30 seconds with 10 second rest intervals. This high-intensity training with little rest results in higher daily metabolism and is the equivalent of working out for over an hour — for only slightly longer than 7 minutes. The best part? The exercises are simple to perform, do not require any equipment, and therefore, can be done anywhere! NO MORE EXCUSES.

Normally available for $1.99, 7 Minute Workout Challenge is currently free to download thanks to the Apple Store app.

Just open the Apple Store app, scroll down, and tap the option labeled "Jump into the new year." A new page will then pop up, offering 7 Minute Workout Challenge free for a limited time exclusively for Apple Store app users.

On this page, just tap the Download now for free button to open the App Store app with your redemption code already provided. Redeem the code, wait for the app to install, and start getting into shape for the new year.

This offer expires Feb. 20, 2014. The Apple Store app is available in the App Store for free. It's optimized for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 6.0 or later.
