George Launchbury Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Today my GymBoss arrived. I got it to manage my rest and work intervals, because I find I start to daydream during rests after a few sets, and lose count of when I should be starting or stopping when not on a nice easy schedule. For example; when doing 0:20 work/0:40 rest I just start on the minute. If I decide to up my work to 0:30, I either need to decrease my rest, or have to start remembering to add 10 seconds per round to my start time.The main reasons I got this in particular was:> It was relatively cheap> It can have one repeating interval, or two rest/work intervals> It can count sets/rounds> It's easy to change between exercises> Has a clip for attaching to clothing> Clear display of time(s)> Water/shock resistantI'll keep you posted as to whether I actually find it as useful as I thought I would for my gymnastic conditioning... but even if it's not - it will at least be really useful for Tabata and other interval-based MetCon, when I'm breathing too hard to think after a few sets!Cheers,George.
