Gymboss GB2010 Black Softcoat Interval Timer Worth YOUR Weight in Gold

Last night I was doing an interval training workout at my local park with my Gymboss GB2010 Black Softcoat Interval Timer and debating on the topic I was going to write about for you today.

Then it hit me – I’d share with you the workout I was personally doing and how I use the Gymboss GB2010 Black Softcoat interval timer during my workouts to help me improve my fitness and lose weight.

If you have been following me and this blog for more than 30 seconds then you know my claim to fame is designing awesome and super effective home workouts that consists of strength training and interval training – very little long, slow cardio (you know, what you have been convinced you need to do for weight loss). These types of workouts result in much greater weight loss in a shorter period of time as well as greatly ramp up your fitness level.

This interval training style of working out is great for doing at home, at the park, out in your back yard, or standing in line at the grocery store (ok, that last one might be a stretch). When you perform interval training, you are essentially alternating short bursts of higher intensity activity with a subsequent rest period.

For example, let’s say you want to lose a few pounds so you decide to try interval training while riding your bike at the park. You decide on an interval split of 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off. That means you will pedal very hard for 30 seconds and then pedal easy for the next 30 seconds. You would probably keep time by using a stopwatch on your wrist or on your phone, just eyeball your watch, or maybe even wing it because you don’t have a stopwatch or ride your bike carrying your phone.

This scenario makes for a cumbersome exercise session. Who the hell wants to keep checking their stopwatch when they concentrating on giving their maximal effort? More often then not, the times are inaccurate, and you don’t get the best results you could be getting if the process was a little less obtrusive.

This was my problem for quite a while. In fact, not only did I find this a huge issue in my own workouts, but I found it to be a pain while I was leading local fitness bootcamps.

Until one day I found the Gymboss GB2010 Black Softcoat Interval Timer and all of our workouts became much more pleasant.

The bottom line is that the Gymboss GB2010 Black Softcoat Interval Timer has proved to be worth both MY and YOUR weight in gold.

The one thing I am disappointed in is that it does not have a backlight so if for some reason you are using it in the dark and need to actually see the numbers it can be a little challenging. But most of the time you are relying on the beeps or the vibrates to indicate your next move.

But for a measly $19.95 how can you go wrong? The advantage the Gymboss gives you is worth 10x that amount.
