App Store review

5 out of 5 stars

“I use it daily to time my 20 minute High Intensity Interval Training on a stationary bike. 3 minutes warm up or no resistance followed by one minute each of increasing resistance up to 4 minutes then back to no load for 3 minutes and keeping my target heart rate within AHA recommendations using a Polar HRM.”

FAQ

Interval timer questions

What is an interval timer?

An interval timer runs a sequence of timed periods, usually work and rest, and signals each change so you don't have to watch the clock. People use interval timers for HIIT, circuit training, running intervals, and other structured workouts. Timer+ also names each step and can tell you what's up next.

Can I use Timer+ as a HIIT timer?

Yes. HIIT is interval training at high intensity, so set short work periods with rests, such as 40/20 or 30/30, add your exercises, and repeat the circuit for as many rounds as you like.

Can I set custom work and rest times?

Yes. Timer+ supports any work and rest length, plus repeats and an optional step between repeats for longer workouts.

Can I name each exercise?

Yes. Every step has its own name, and you can name each repeat, so the running screen tells you exactly what to do next.

Can I include a warmup and cooldown?

Yes. Add warmup, work, rest, and cooldown steps to the same routine and they run in order.

Does Timer+ support Tabata?

Yes. The Tabata Workout template runs eight repeats of 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off, and you can change it to suit your training.

Can I skip or go back a step during a workout?

Yes. Run controls let you move forward or back, pause, and extend a step while the workout is running.
