What is Reddit's opinion of Tabata Timer: Interval Timer Workout Timer HIIT?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I'd advice you to follow hiit workout routines as they can be done in less time ( under 30 minutes ) and burn a lot of calories. This is what I started with. If you find it less challenging, you can look for more such routines on YouTube ( chris heria and athlean-x were my go to ).

You can use an app like this to help you in hiit.

Also, keep your calories in check and eat healthy food only.

I am going to recommend strong. Anytime I press the checkmark on a set, My timer starts a count down. I can customize the timer to start at different times for different exercises or set the default at a certain time like 3 minutes. You can easily on the fly add or minus 30 sec from the timer. You can have the timer pop up full screen while it counts down or be minimized but you still see a countdown.

I wish I had this app years ago. The only thing is if you want to log more than 2 exercise routines, you have to get the premium which is in the subscription style of payment. Maybe you'll only need premium for a couple of months or year, then you can do that and go back to free.
I bought the full license ��

Another app with a timer is this one for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evgeniysharafan.tabatatimer&hl=en_US Colorful, Good sounds, lots of intervals you can customize. I use it for HIIT training, battle ropes, abs, cardio whatever.

If there was some way to figure out how your app works, that would be great. I really cannot understand how to use it.

Have a look at this app.

Podés hacerlo de la forma Tabata: 8 periodos de salto con sus correspondientes 8 periodos de descanso

La idea es que al principio hagas el mismo tiempo de salto que de descanso, y a medida que notes que llegas más tranquilo vayas disminuyendo el tiempo de descanso/aumentando el tiempo de salto

Podés empezar saltando 20/30 segundos, descansando 30, o bien 40/45.

Antes que nada buscá bien (YouTube) cómo saltar, la posición de los brazos, espalda, postura. No es difícil pero es importante hacerlo bien.

Cómo te mencionaron, los del canal Jump Rope Dudes son buenísimos para dar rutinas de todos los niveles, más tips y demás. Y también para explicar lo de la postura.

Uso esta app para setear la rutina Tabata: Tabata Timer

Siempre cuidá las piernas, no te recomiendo saltar más de 3 veces a la semana, menos al inicio, si sentís que te duele la parte frontal de las pantorrillas/gemelos, esperá unos cuantos días porque quiere decir que te pasaste y te vas a lesionar.

I love this app. You can set up your own intervals.

It allows music to play in the background.

And it will speak to you. Tell you when to work and when to rest.

If you're still looking for timer suggestions this is the one I use: Tabata Timer: Interval Timer

I like it so much I actually paid to remove the ads.

Downloading a tabata timer app you can save your workouts and configure the settings and times. You just create the workout, select what you want to do and it tells you when to switch and rest.

This is the one I use. Takes a little work but great way to bring workouts you like wherever you go

I used this before I bought my Garmin running watch.

Is this the same Tabata Timer app , you’re using, but the ios version? It’s what i still currently use. I like that this one on android is customizable, especially since i do different sets with different abs exercises, and i can take down notes too within that saved workout. Only prob is i can only save two workouts. I’ll check those apps suggested and hopefully find a better one.

I took two months off from running at the peak of the virus here (I've been a runner for years) and did HIIT workouts in my apartment. I thought I was in shape before that. I was wrong. Or at least I wasn't in that kind of shape. This was a good one to get me started: https://youtu.be/Mvo2snJGhtM. It's easy to find different exercises you like and just string them together into a HIIT/tabata-type workout. There are timer apps that are really helpful too. I like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evgeniysharafan.tabatatimer&hl=en_US&gl=US

My wife's been doing workouts from Popsugar on YouTube, they have a TON of stuff. Usually minimal/no equipment, prooooobably doable in most NYC apartments. I've been back to running outside for a while now, but I'm lucky to have a river pretty close by and once you get out there it's easy to just run without dodging around too much. I do wear a mask, I've gotten used to it. Not ideal but I'll take it. I see lots of people along the river in grassy spots or on athletic fields doing their own workouts too.

If you're at all like me you exercise a lot because it's easier for you than changing your diet. I like to eat and drink and I have too much of a sweet tooth to change all that up, but diet has probably more to do with your body and health than exercise so in the absence/reduction of exercise it's always worth looking into what you can change in your diet.

Another kb and tgu beginner here. Getting the form right made it so much more doable. Definitely agree with starting with no weight. You'll make progress fast. I'd recommend an interval timer. That really helped me keep the timing consistent. Keep at it. The TGU is such a rewarding movement.

You need a tabata timer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evgeniysharafan.tabatatimer switches back & forth between exercise & break with helpful beeps to let you know. Benefit over phone timer is no delay between starting the clock & exercising

Tabata Timer is what I used to use, but probably you already know about this since it's in the top results. Works like a charm, regardless.

I like doing tabata intervals with a single strike. I start long range with stuff like my jab and teep then as I get tired move into clinch strikes so I can hang off the bag. It really develops the muscle memory and builds up endurance in the muscles. I noticed it the most in my jab. I can pump out a jab every 2-3 seconds and never got that fatigue in my shoulder.

I use this app since it lets me play music over it and just pauses the music for the timer.

I had to move more because back pain led to physical therapy. For my day-to-day exercise though, Tabata Timer makes it happen. You setup exercise routines, name/time/type. Then you can configure it to use text to voice, so you don't need to look at your phone. The regular prompts help minor distractions. That the app stays in the background help with big distractions.

I also put some of prep-steps in because I kept forgetting them, then being annoyed I had to stop for them.

I use this Tabata Timer on Android. Easy to configure active/resting times, number of sets, whatever, and you can play music over it.

Tabata interval timer.

got tired of doing the same bas rutten kickboxing workout tapes, so i started doing tabata intervals on the heavy bag. tried all the apps on the play store and this one was the best. lets you tweak interval details, will play start/rest audio signals while you have music playing, and lets you save your favorite interval configuration. i like how it has a countdown on the last few seconds so you know to go as hard as possible for the last little bit of the interval.

i only get the workout high from 2 things.

deadlifting heavy singles around 95% of max. I get really lightheaded and have to hold on to something to keep my balance for about 5 seconds, my hearing cuts out for a few seconds, and my vision narrows but i get a huge wave of euphoria. you got really push your limits for an endorphin high IME.

The other is tabata intervals, specifically sprints or full power muay thai knees with the same leg the entire tabata session on the heavy bag. if i alternate legs like in the gif i don't get the rush unless i do a double session with 20 work/rest intervals, 10 with one leg at a time gets me there though.

tabata intervals are the shit. 20 seconds work at max effort, 10 second rest. rinse/repeat for 10 rounds and you're done in 5 minutes but if you truly go all out in each interval with an intense movement like sprints you'll have done some serious work. This simple android app is great for them, it plays start/rest audio tones over your music so you can die with a soundtrack of your choosing.

go the opposite direction. i have a 400+ lb squat, albini-esque upper legs, but toothpicks for calves. Was super self conscious about them when i was a big 190 lbs, but have slimmed down to 165 over the years and they're the same size making every thing more proportionate.

Doing tabata intervals with knees on the heavy bag seems to have helped them grow a bit the past year or so. Seems like i have to do ultra high reps to get them to do anything. This tabata interval timer for android is the shit, it plays work/rest audio (bell/whistle) over your music so you can get lost in the workout. i do 1 set of 10 intervals with left knees, then another 10 interval set with right knees and struggle to get up the 3 stairs from my garage to inside the house after from 7 minutes of work.

It's called Tabata. If you have an Android phone I like this app for timing it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evgeniysharafan.tabatatimer&hl=en

I'm sure there are plenty of similar apps on the iOS Appstore too.

I use the tabata interval timer it let's Spotify play in the back ground and does this cool countdown right before the next interval.

Hi there. I'll tell you about what I do. I lead an hour-long weekend outdoor group as well that uses only bodyweight and available fixtures: large water fountain, benches, and stairs. My group size is about yours as well. It is open to all fitness levels as I provide progressions and regressions based on physical ability. I am very much into variation so I always write a new workout every weekend.

My basic structure is this:

• Send the group off for a run to start. We workout most of the time in a large park in the city so I have them do a couple loops. It's probably between a 1/4 to 1/2 mile.
• 10-minute warm-up. Twenty seconds of work, 10 seconds off continuously (so 20 rounds of work). This is primarily to get their heart rates up, perform dynamic stretches, and practice some moves we will do in the main body of the workout. So the work includes movements such as jumping jacks, sweeps (stretch), mountain climbers, step-behinds to squat (stretch), fast feet, high knees, jumpees, plank with cross tucks, etc., etc. I ad-lib my way through this calling/demonstrating the next exercise during each rest.
• Main body - Tabata/HIIT. My class is mainly HIIT-based. The variation here comes with how I play with work intervals and of course the exercises. I try to be creative as possible without making it to confusing for the members to follow. The possibilities here are too extensive to go into, and that's a good thing! A big help is my Tabata timer app which allows for customization of interval work (learning curve here, but the worth it to learn the app). Here are just some ideas that I have come up with:
• -Keep it simple. Four rounds of ten exercises. Work/Rest intervals are 30/15, 40/15, 50/15, 60/15 for the rounds. You can play around with the work, rest, and/or # exercises of course. Keep it all uniform or change it up.

• -A favorite is a challenging progression of combining 12 exercises as shown below. Pick work and rest intervals as you wish. This is a little fancier but it works if you lead it well.

  7 sets of 12 exercises total (same 12 each set): I) 12 rounds of 1 exercise II) 6 rounds of 2 consecutive exercises III) 4 rounds of 3 consecutive exercises IV) 3 rounds of 4 consecutive exercises V) 2 rounds of 6 consecutive exercises VI) 1 round of 12 consecutive exercises (a challenge!)

• -Progression/regression work. However the workout is carried out (intervals, reps, etc.), the exercises pyramid in complexity. For example, normal or honest push-ups one round, archer p/u next, then plyos (I tell them to "Get some daylight under those palms" when they hop up off their hands). Then regress back down each round. These pyramids, for any body group, are great for varying fitness levels as anyone can stay in a particular pro/regression based on their physical ability.

• -The list here goes on and on, and with endless modifications. Eventually I return to a past workout format because the members also like familiarity along with variation.

• Rep-based work or 1-minute challenges. Raised-arm walking lunges perhaps, 10 burpees at the far end, and same lunges back. Or 10 push-ups on end, run to a fixture for box jumps (10), and run back. It's all up to you here. This is also a perfect opportunity for variation. There is a large fountain with a nice step as its rim so I may have them do feet-elevated mountain climbers for a minute at a time. A favorite is to simply do 1-minute core work intervals. All up to you.

• Stretch.

One thing to note is that it can certainly be repetitive to you, but not to the same degree as your members perceive it. You experience the workout every time but you may not have the same 8-16 members each session. That is important to keep in mind so you don't lose energy thinking they are getting tired of seeing the same material. Use and make up your own progressions and regressions. Play around with HIIT intervals. It's all about creativity and of course reading your group and seeing what they enjoy the most (though challenge them with the work they like the least).

And now for the plug. I lead a group called Open Urban Training ("OUT") that is a safe, supportive, and challenging environment for all fitness levels. I use social media to provide exercise and workout examples, as well as post the invites to our weekend workouts. Exercises are given in video form. HIIT workouts are given on Instagram in a format that you can write down on a postcard or Post-It paper. Please feel free to follow/join my group and grab ideas from what I have posted so far. Please let me know if you want to hear a bit more about what I do. Thanks for reading.

Yes! I love the Tabata Timer app! super simple and easy to use! I use it for interval runs and HIIT

I really like Tabata Timer It's very good if you are into HIIT.

The best way is to use an app like this

I use Tabata Timer

Check out this tabata timer:

Yep. As others said, this is a tabata timer. I use the one literally called Tabata Timer.

Para hacer ejercicios de series/repeticiones con tiempo, uso Tabata Timer. En los tiempos que trackeaba todo lo que comía lo registraba en MyfitnessPAL tanto PC como en Android. Finalmente, la que más uso es Strava porque siempre salgo en bicicleta.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evgeniysharafan.tabatatimer

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evgeniysharafan.tabatatimer&hl=en is the one I use. I haven't really shopped around for alternatives but it does what I want.

I like this tabata timer for interval training. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evgeniysharafan.tabatatimer&hl=en

I'm 41 and lost 15+ pounds in 2 months doing this (and cutting out cola/soda).

3 or 4 day rotation with rest days as needed.

Day 1 & 4: Jump day

45 minute straight jump rope.

Day 2: Sprint and Squat/Shoot/Sprawl day

45 minute jump rope (sometimes I'll do just 30)

Then 3x 2 minute periods of 20 second double unders or sprint, 30 second push pace 'recovery' jump (best pace I can manage) with 30 second rest between the 2 minute periods. Sometimes (rarely) add 1 overtime period (ouch).

Then 3x sets of squat/shoot/sprawl which consists of 10 squats, 10 lunges per leg (or 60 seconds of movement in stance trying to do 10 to 20 shots--the stance thing is HARD), then 10 sprawls to box jump as high as you can do (safely?) (I use a picnic table top). 3 periods of this. Sometimes (rarely) add 1 overtime period (ouch again).

Day 3: Jump & Pump

5 minute jump warm up

1 minute pump

2 minute jump

Repeat 1 min pump and 2 min jump cycle for 16 sets with no rest.

My jump on these days is usually pretty slow as it's 'recovery'. But I keep moving the whole time.

Pump consists of: 4x sets of pushups (I stop at time or failure then resume jumping early, sometimes at failure I will hold plank or straight arms to time is up); 3x sets seated row with resistance band or pull ups to failure (for all band exercises I do 10-15 reps which is just about failure then resume jumping early. I suppose you could lower the resitance and do 1 min worth of everything.); 3x bicep curl with band; 3x tricep push down or over head tricep extension (with band); 3x shoulder press or upright row (with band).

I think this adds up to 53 mins.

Rope suggestions:

I've bought and jumped through/worn out nearly every brand of jump rope available on the market.

I recommend the blue Rouge Fitness Thai boxers rope that is heavy (about 10oz). This thing will make you burn.

Second best rope is the red Rogue Fitness Boxers Rope that is about 6oz. This is good for learning or starting out because the blue rope is a beast.

Both these are $10-15 a piece and can be used on any surface and have decent bearings. The fancy speed ropes are a waste of money.

My girlfriend is able to use the blue for her normal 5 minute warm ups, so it's doable.

Interval timer suggestion:

This app is free, totally customizable, can save 2 plans (more with paid version), and accommodates non timed items into the flow by requiring a button push after you complete your reps (like for squat reps and sprawl reps between timed stance/shooting).
