10 Days of Giveaways: Day 5 (Gymboss)

Last giveaway of week 1! This one is a product I’ve used for a few years now: Gymboss.

10daysofgiveaways

As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of HIIT training and interval-style workouts. I like to time different segments as it’s a great way to change things up and really challenge myself. (Like when I increased the HIIT time from 30-40 seconds hard the other day— it killed me in the best way possible.) I have a timer app on my phone, which is fine to use at home, but when I’m at the gym, guess where my phone is? In a locker. When I go to the gym, I have a small amount of time to get in and get out, and I like to do it without the distraction of a phone. If I have it, I’m much more tempted to check my email, see what people are saying on Twitter, aka waste time. 

Gymboss timer to the rescue:

Gymboss

It’s extremely user-friendly, and has a few sound settings. My favorite is to clip it on my shirt and set it on vibrate, so it doesn’t distract other gym-goers. I’ve also used it while teaching classes, especially since the resort is cell phone free and it looks more professional to use an actual timer. It’s one of my favorite workout tools, especially because it’s so inexpensive, and it makes a perfect stocking stuffer for a fitness-loving friend. They recently released some cool new colors, too!

My friends at Gymboss kindly offered five interval timers– one each to five lucky winners. It’s a great little workout buddy 😉

Here’s how to enter:

  12. Linda on December 7, 2013 at 1:59 pm

    Running is my #1 (and only) cardio love!

  17. Margaret on December 7, 2013 at 2:28 pm

    I absolutely love to run! Have a 2 year old and a 2 month old, so it doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, but when I can get out there I make it count!

  18. Leigh on December 7, 2013 at 2:33 pm

    running!

  19. Rachael on December 7, 2013 at 2:34 pm

    I’ve been loving your interval workouts – tough workouts while maximizing time. One of this timers would be so helpful!

  20. Liza McAlister on December 7, 2013 at 2:43 pm

    HIIT cardio is my fave! This timer will be perfect to use just for that!

  21. Tricia on December 7, 2013 at 2:51 pm

    I’d be so lost without my Gymboss timer!

  22. Jay on December 7, 2013 at 2:57 pm

    Cool, could use one of those. I have no clue how I’m doing some times!

  23. Laura on December 7, 2013 at 3:02 pm

    Bodyrocks!!!!! They are my favorite!!!

  24. Stacy Seratt on December 7, 2013 at 3:03 pm

  25. Johanna on December 7, 2013 at 3:05 pm

    I love jumping rope this would be perfect

  26. Kady on December 7, 2013 at 3:20 pm

    My favorite way to do cardio is definitely tabatas – short and sweet!

  27. Kelsey on December 7, 2013 at 3:23 pm

    HITT training 🙂

  28. Heather on December 7, 2013 at 3:34 pm

  30. Andrea on December 7, 2013 at 3:37 pm

    favourite mode of cardio right now – swimming!

  31. Lindsay on December 7, 2013 at 3:39 pm

    Dance is by far my fav cardio because it doesn’t feel like a workout. Spin is a close second, though! And HIIT, when I’m in a hurry.

    • Fitnessista on December 7, 2013 at 4:05 pm

      we’re twins 😉

  32. Fritz on December 7, 2013 at 3:40 pm

    Just recently found your blog and am excited to read through it.

    Favorite cardio – running half marathons!

  33. Amanda on December 7, 2013 at 4:10 pm

    HIIT or running is my favorite mode of cardio!

  34. Ashleigh white on December 7, 2013 at 4:14 pm

    While I love a good HIIT or tabata work out, running is and always will be my fave form of cardio (and therapy!)

  35. Nicole on December 7, 2013 at 4:17 pm

    Wow! This would be perfect! During my interval workout this morning, I had to toggleback between a the workout, songza and a timer app all on my phone!

  36. Liz on December 7, 2013 at 4:18 pm

    My favorite cardio is a hike in the mountains in Arizona!! We just moved back to Wisconsin after 4 years in Phoenix and “hiking” here is not the same!! I miss it so much!

  37. Jen on December 7, 2013 at 4:19 pm

    i just tried tabata intervals for the first time at a class. this timer would make doing it on my own so much easier!

  38. Haley on December 7, 2013 at 4:24 pm

    Defnitly use it for hiit intervals and tabata almost everyday!

  39. Alexandra on December 7, 2013 at 4:25 pm

    Id use it for tabata training and intervals on the treadmill – thanks!

  40. Tara on December 7, 2013 at 4:39 pm

    HITT, Spin, and running outside!

  41. Carla on December 7, 2013 at 4:42 pm

    Running for sure but I’ve been wanting a gymboss for a long time. I need more Tabata in my life!

  42. Kyla LaCombe on December 7, 2013 at 4:45 pm

    I’m a runner! Indoors for the winter where I am. It’s like minus 30.

  43. Nora on December 7, 2013 at 4:58 pm

    I always wanted a Gymboss so I could do quick workouts!!! I love the purple one!

  44. Kristen on December 7, 2013 at 5:08 pm

    I’m a runner so of course that’s my favorite form of cardio but I love to switch it up once in a while so this timer would be great for that!

  45. Beth on December 7, 2013 at 5:12 pm

    Love Crossfit type WOD’s…we have a group of ladies from my neighborhood that meet 3x a week to do crossfit workouts…..so hard, but so fun!

  46. Hayley on December 7, 2013 at 5:26 pm

    I love Hiit and a bit of body combat/pump to mix it up.

  47. Chrissy on December 7, 2013 at 5:46 pm

    All forms of dance are my favorite cardio. right now i’m loving pole

  48. Amanda on December 7, 2013 at 5:50 pm

    If we’re talking straight cardio it’s HIIT and Tabata. Otherwise, my favorite heart pumping workouts are Insanity & Crossfit-style sessions that incorporate intervals of cardio and weights!

  49. Megan on December 7, 2013 at 5:53 pm

    Running outside!

  50. Lizzi on December 7, 2013 at 6:14 pm

    Running! Any type – steady state, sprints, hills.
