I posted this in the C25k forum but then thought it might be of interest to the Str & Fl community.
While consolidating my 30 min runs as part of my NHS 12 week fitness programme (nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/1... I was disgruntled to say good-bye to the Str & Fl podcasts, and looked in trepidation to week 6 of my programme and the number of different links to this NHS site for warm-up, or that site for cooldown, and another one for the main work-outs. All depicted nicely with Mr X but without podcast or audio! 🙉🙊
So after humming and hawing, and my husband unsuccessfully trying to persuade me to simply use pen and paper 📝, I got searching for a more fancy digital solution.
And I found “Tabata Timer:Interval Timer”! A very nice app which I can fill with any custom-made workout, and it even can use the system voice to read the title of the next exercise that I have put in. Brilliant!
It also has a nice selection of sound signals from gorgeous gongs, simple clicks, audience applause to bone-chilling screams. Fun! 😱 👏🏾 🔔 🥊
2 custom workouts are possible with the free version, but it has a one-off price (finally, no monthly subscriptions which I try to avoid like the pandemic) and having used it now for two sessions, I think it’s worth the 7 quid one-off pricetag.
I have been playing with it all day, done another work-out with it today, and have loaded all my NHS workouts into it.
So I am ready for the next weeks!!!
