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

Flexibility + ease of use can't be beat. I've tried different apps. First a timer for running called "Couch to 5K," but intervals were hard-wired, couldn't be changed. Tried a stopwatch, but no audible signal, also complicated to program. This app was the third try and I am super happy with it. Does what it says and does it simply & perfectly. Time to switch to the paid version - not that the free version isn't perfect, more to reward the developers for a job well done.

I love this app!! You can set your own intervals. You can program multiple workouts and add the exercises you want to do and it will say it for you. There is also an option to color code each Workout. I like to just set workout intervals alternating with a rest intervals and setting how many cycles or sets I want. The bell is loud enough for me to be able to blast my music! I opted for the one time fee to keep as my own. I highly recommend this Tabata/Interval timer!!

Easy to use and the best HIIT/Tabata timer I've found. I even felt it was worth it to buy the app so I could have full features forever, and that was after already having the free version for over a year. I also use it to manage group workouts (while simultaneously playing music from my phone), which takes the pressure off me to keep my eye on the clock. I also love that it was created by an individual developer who cares about the app he's created. Thanks for creating a great timer, Eugene!
