What is a HIIT Interval Timer?
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Tabata workouts require precise
timing to be effective. An interval timer automates the process of switching between "Work" (high-intensity
exercise) and "Rest" (recovery periods). Our free online interval timer is fully customizable, allowing you to
set specific work durations, rest intervals, and total rounds to match any fitness protocol.
Why Use an Online Workout Timer?
- Hands-Free Operation: Once started, the timer uses visual color changes to guide you
through your workout without needing to touch your phone or watch.
- Tabata Ready: The classic Tabata protocol consists of 20 seconds of maximum effort followed
by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times. Just input these values and start!
- CrossFit & Circuit Training: Adapt the rounds and preparation time for EMOMs (Every Minute
On the Minute), AMRAPs, or circuit weightlifting.
