Home Exercise Equipment Guide No.2: The Intervals Timer
This little device transformed my personal workouts because it means you don’t have to watch the clock while fitting in a really effective interval training or Metabolic Resistance Training workout. Don’t worry about the buzz words – I’ve got that bit covered for you – it means exercising to lose fat whilst building lean muscle – ie SHAPE – in the shortest possible time!
The Gymboss® interval timer doesn’t need a great deal of explanation: it’s a small, easy to use repeating intervals timer. The timer makes it easy to plan & time your workouts. For example, you set your timer for 12 sets of 45 & 15 second intervals, or 50 & 10 seconds. The longer period is the exercise, & the short period is the rest. The timer bleeps to let you know when each segment is done, leaving you to concentrate on technique & working out!
It’s small, it’s pink & it has a robust clip on the back to attach it easily to your workout clothes. You set it, clip it on, press start & go!

Here’s an example of a great total body workout using your timer:
Set the timer for 45 second & 15 second intervals, x 15. So it’s a 15 minute workout (believe me… it’s enough!). You’re going to do 5 exercises, 3 times as a circuit. Don’t forget to warm up first & stretch afterwards!
The exercises are:
Mountain Climbers
Squat
Half press-up (do them from your toes if you think you’re hard enough 
)
Sumo Squat with Knee Lift
Gecko (prone arm row)
This high intensity workout is similar to those included in the MuTu® System 12 week coaching programme, but there you’ll also find much, much more, including full instructions on how to perform, vary & progress your workouts, & most importantly, the secrets of how to make EVERY exercise in EVERY workout… a Flatten-Your-Mummy-Tummy-Exercise!
