This is My ALL-TIME Favorite Workout Tool.  I believe it is the greatest invention for workouts / training ever invented…

The Gymboss Interval Timer

Have you every spent WAY more time in the gym because you were sidetracked talking to someone?  or looking at the opposite sex?

Here’s why I recommend the Gymboss Interval Timer to keep you on task during your workouts…

-One or two different time intervals from 2 seconds to 60 minutes adjustable by the second
-Adjust the Interval Period and/or the Rest Period or both
-Auto mode keeps repeating through intervals
-Manual mode acts as countdown timer
-Alarm by beep, vibration, or both
-Alarm duration of 1 or 10 seconds
-AAA battery included
-Size of a small pager
-Water and shock resistant
-Tracks the number of intervals you have completed
-Easy to use
-Easy to change intervals

Here’s are THREE workout ideas for Gymboss Interval Timer…

Tabata

One of the easiest, simplest methods for quick fat loss.  Tabata
protocol is :20 work / :10 rest for 8 rounds or 4 minutes.  Each 4
minute interval will kick your ass like nothing you’ve ever tried
before.  Do 4-8 Tabata protocols for training sessions lasting 16 – 40
minutes total (including optional rest).

Here is killer 20-minute Tabata workout…

:20 Bodyweight Squats
:10 Rest
:20 Pushups
:10 Rest
Repeat 4 Rounds

Rest 1:00

:20 Mountain Climbers
:10 Rest
:20 TRX Rows ( TRX Portable Gym in a Bag )
:10 Rest
Repeat 4 Rounds

Rest 1:00

:20 Hindu Pushups
:10 Rest
:20 Alternating Lunges
:10 Rest
Repeat 4 Rounds

Rest 1:00

:20 Burpees
:10 Rest
Repeat 8 Rounds

Total Time = 19 minutes

HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training

HIIT is a much better way to lose fat with any type of cardio
training.  It is similar to Tabata but with longer interval periods.
Usually HIIT periods are a 2:1 work:rest ratio.  They can really be
whatever interval length you want.  Here’s an example…

Sprint 200 meters
Walk 100 meters
Repeat 8 rounds

Metabolic Conditioning

Metabolic Conditioning is where you pick 3-5 exercises with a
specific rep count and do the exercises for as many rounds as possible
in a specified time period.  Here’s an example…

5 Pullups
10 Pushups
15 Burpees
Repeat as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes.

Bottom-line… You can do all of this and MUCH MORE with the Gymboss Interval Timer and the Alarm Beeping at you at the end of an interval and especially a “Rest” Period is…

The Ultimate “Built-in Kick in the Ass.”

I’m reviewing some serious tools to help you lose fat and get sexy in 2009.  Here’s a great compliment to kettlebells and kettlebell training that you’ll quickly learn to love to hate:

Tool #2 Gym Boss Timer.

The Gym Boss Timer is the greatest invention in the workout world yet!  It is the most evil, sinister little piece of electronic equipment that I have found.  Perfect for delivering beatdowns!

The Gym Boss Timer is a digital countdown timer that you can set both WORK and REST intervals to the second.  It also counts rounds or intervals for you so you never lose track of where you are.  It was originally designed for Tabata intervals which are :20 work / :10 rest.  You can do so much more with it…the possibilities and timing options are endless.

The Gym Boss Timer destroys its competition like Everlast and Ringside.  It’s small, has a clip on it for attachment to gym shorts or a watch and is only $19.99 compared to most timers that start at $120.  The Gym Boss Timer also blows away a wrist watch or a stop watch which neither actually count the rounds and most do not have the dual timer.

One last thing…I contacted Gary at Gym Boss to offer a couple of suggestions and he let me in on a little secret:  they have improved the bell to be LOUDER and also are
working on a digital timer for boot camp instructors that is bigger and
louder but comes in at a lower price point than their competitors.  For my boot camp crew, they will get to experience this first hand.  For the kids at home, you’ll have to plan a trip to the great state of Minnesota to experience it for yourself.  I love my world!

All the way around, the Gym Boss Timer rules!  Click here to buy yours.
