If you’re a fitness buff, you’ve doubtlessly heard about interval training. And if you haven’t, here’s the short wikipedia definition:
“Interval training is a type of physical training that involves bursts of high intensity work. This high intensity work is alternated with periods of rest or low activity (the intervals in interval training).” It can be helpful for improving cardiovascular fitness, and studies have suggested interval training can be better for weight loss than steady-pace jogging, biking, etc.
While you can simply use a watch or the timer on the treadmill to figure out your intervals, the gadget lover in you may prefer the GymBoss Interval Trainer.
“This quality interval timer will make any workout easier to plan and execute with more accuracy and consistency.” The pager-sized fitness gadget features include:
