Rest Timer
About the Rest Timer
Rest between sets is training data, not phone time. This Rest Timer counts down recovery after squats, sprints, or swim repeats so you return when the program says, not when boredom says. Powerlifters use ninety-second and three-minute presets, CrossFit athletes stack short rests between barbell cycling, and physio patients time prescribed gaps between rehab sets. A clear alarm beats glancing at a clock mid-chalk.
How to use it
- Open the rest timer and pick a preset or enter custom recovery seconds.
- Name the lift, sprint, or drill you just finished in the task field.
- Start the countdown as soon as you rack the bar or finish the rep.
- Stay near the display so you return when recovery ends, not when you feel like it.
- Reset or adjust duration between exercises if your program calls for different rests.
Good to know
Intervals are a training aid, not medical advice. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, or chest tightness. The clock only helps if the tab stays open and you can hear or see the change of round.
