Numerous studies have shown that HIIT workouts burn more fat than regular training because they speed up metabolism within 24 hours after exercise. Production of growth hormone that affects the intensity of fat burning, increased up to 450%. HIIT accelerates metabolism, increases aerobic endurance, increases the level of tissue oxygen consumption. Tabata training has a positive effect on glucose metabolism gradually reducing adipose tissue sensitivity to insulin.

I love this app! I've tried multiple exercise tracking apps, and this one is, by far, the best. Easy to create workouts. Easy to modify. Well worth the $7.99 for lifetime. One thing that I would love to see incorporated into the app is a calendar that tracks the days where I've completed my sequence for the day.

Thank you very much for your feedback and for using my app! Please note that Samsung restricts third-party apps running in the background. It's a power saving feature. It may stop apps when you lock the screen or open another app on top. If you notice it happening, please long press the app icon, (i) in the top right corner, Battery, Unrestricted.

The parameters are highly customizable, so it's a workout timer app with Tabata functionality and presets. For example, my workout is too challenging for the full 8 rounds, so I made it only 5 rounds, but 2 sets, with a five minute rest in between each set. Ads are annoying, but they only happen when your workout is done, and it's a free app, so that's the price you pay. Excellent free app.

Thank you very much for your review and for using my app! I just want to mention that there is a premium version with no ads and more features. You can read about it by clicking on the dollar icon in the upper right corner of the settings/workout list screen. There you can choose between a subscription and a one-time payment with a lifetime license

I lead HIIT workouts regularly and this app has made my life a lot easier. Being able to change the intervals and to setup different sounds for each portion of the workout (warmup vs cooldown) is really nice. The best feature by far is allowing me to name each interval. This allows me to put each exercise directly in the timer app, meaning I don't need to memorize my flow or write it down on paper. It's all right there!
