Exercise Timer
For any timed exercise: circuits, holds, walks, rehab work and everything a stopwatch is too fiddly for.

What this one is for
- Any length you need
- Add a minute mid-session
- Readable at a distance
Anything measured in time rather than repetitions belongs here: holds, carries, walks, rehab sets and circuits. Set the block, then stop watching the numbers. It opens at 20:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- A timer counts down to a decided end; a stopwatch measures what happened.
- Useful for rehab work and holds, where reps matter less than duration.
- Add a minute mid-session without losing the progress already run.
Getting the most from the exercise timer
- Warm up before the clock mattersTwo or three minutes of easy movement first. The block is for working, not for getting ready to work.
- Set the effort, not the distanceTime-based work holds up on a tired day because the finish line does not move.
- Come down slowlyWalk or breathe it out for the last minute rather than stopping dead when the alarm goes.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between an exercise timer and a stopwatch?
A timer counts down to a fixed end, which is what you want for timed work. A stopwatch counts up, which suits recording how long something took.
Will the alarm cut through music?
At normal volume, yes. There is also a soft option if you are training somewhere quiet.
Can I read the exercise timer from across a room?
Yes. Full screen scales the digits to fill the display, which is legible from the floor or the far side of a garage.
Does the exercise timer work offline?
After your first visit, yes. The page is cached by your browser, so it opens and runs without a connection.
