WHAT IS HIIT?
High-intensity interval training alternates short, intense anaerobic effort with less-intense recovery. A typical session lasts 9–20 minutes: a warm-up, six to ten high-intensity reps separated by medium-intensity recovery, then a cool-down. A common protocol uses a 2:1 work-to-rest ratio — e.g. 30–40s of hard sprinting, then 15–20s of jogging. It's one of the best ways to get a complete workout when you're short on time.

⚠️ Because of the intensity, this training isn't for everyone. Please consult a doctor and a qualified trainer first.

Ratings and reviews

Been using the basic version for couple years now, and doing the job for me! I listen to music & get timed alerts Has a few fitness routines already set up as well as option to design your own Custom routines :) Includes a handy explanation & tips from Wiki, which is more than I noticed in other Apps at the time I was comparing options. Basic version has ads, unobtrusive at bottom of the screen without blocking anything. Only thing I'd like to save my Workouts but for free App don't expect this.

I just installed it. When I opened it up, it is not responding. Just stuck on the about page. Useless. I reinstalled it couple of times, but app is not responding.

Silent Mode Option Needed. Too noisy, always something beeps ot talks. Needs a silent mode option without the need to manipulate the volume keys.
