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.

Ratings and reviews

The best free HIIT timer! All of what I need: customize the amount for rest, work, cycles in a set, sets, and rest in between sets. In addition, it gives me the total time of the customized settings so that I can change it if I have more or less time to work out. It works with my phone settings for volume & vibration. The color change between rest & work also helps. I didn't check if the color is customizable but I'm happy with green & red.

Great app. So far I am using it to time stick handling drills for hockey practice (in my garage). Options for programming timer of workout sequences with name and description for each interval and different sounds for indicating the beginning and end of each interval. One feature I would like to see added is centralized variable assignment, for example if I could define "work_A = 30 (seconds)" then apply that variable to multiple intervals, could make it easier to iterate or adjust a workout.

I've been using this app for a couple of weeks and was impressed. It is super flexible and much easier to use than other timer apps. (I was using Flex Timer by GynNext and it is very clunky and not as user friendly) It is easy to personalize as well. Lots of settings that are easy to find and use. I paid for the app after trying it and found it to be very inexpensive. I purchased the year subscription. I would suggest the developer add an option to display heart rate monitors.

What's new

💪 Fix for the Pause on call feature for devices with Android 12+. It now requires READ_PHONE_STATE permission.
💪 Added instructions for disabling background restrictions. This is necessary so that the timer works reliably in the background when you lock the screen or open another app on top.
💪 Minor bug fixes.
