Gymboss Interval Timer Review



You may have noticed Gymboss links on KBTFS before (quite a few of them actually)






Why?

Cos it's a grand little device that'll help your kettlebell training and fitness

I've been interval training for about 20 odd years now. I first started with circuit training and fartlek running, both of which are forms of interval training.

To time these sessions I used the old Ironman Wristwatch (still have one now but the old one's were awesome at the time)

However, I discovered the Gymboss last year and it's helped me no-end with my sledgehammer training and kettlebell intervals. When you get into it and start obeying the gymboss when it tells you to start and stop you'll be a disciple (ok it doesn't talk but it beeps and vibrates).

You can set the timer to what ever interval length and rest period you like. I have also used it for 3-6 second intervals to time the duration of my kettlebell snatch reps, to keep my rhythm going (i.e set to 4 secs work + 4 sec rest/ perform a rep on the beep would mean 15 snatches per minute).

Other great benefits are it's small and cheap and can be clipped to your trackies or belt.

Get yourself one here if you're in the USA and one here if you're in the UK
