Overview
Rest periods between sets affect muscle recovery and session length. Set intervals that match your program.
Program the work and the rest you can repeat with the same weight. Add a round only after the last one still looks like the first.
How to use it
- Open HIIT Timer.
- Set work, rest, and rounds before you start, and put the screen where you can see it from the floor.
- Keep Tabata Timer or Online Stopwatch for a second phase.
Good to know
This is a training clock, not medical advice. Stop if something hurts, and keep the screen awake so the interval change is not delayed.
The tools are free on the TimerClock home page. Settings stay in this browser. The privacy policy explains what is stored.
