My Favorite Interval Timer


Has got to be the GymBoss timer, found at www.gymboss.com. What an outstanding timer for only 19.95 plus shipping and handling. I use it for my personal workouts and it is a godsend when working with individuals or groups in my personal training practice. Recently, when working with a club volleyball team, my workout called for some strength work- followed by a tabata protocol of 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest. No problem for the Gymboss timer. Simply set up your work time, rest time, and exactly how many intervals of work/rest you need to perform for a given workout. Use it for your strength work also. Let's say you are doing a ME workout. Set your approximate work time, follow that with a set rest time between sets and set it for the number of sets that you will perform. By "timing" even your strength work you will find that the Gymboss will keep you on pace for a great workout. Ok, it's easy to use, extremely portable, affordably priced....what are you waiting for? Go to www.gymboss.com and order one today.
