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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

Here’s how to enter:

    I love running, and just started adding HITT to my weekly workouts

  2. Brittany on December 7, 2013 at 9:39 am

    Spinning!

  3. Corinne on December 7, 2013 at 9:39 am

    I’ve been a dancer my whole life so that’s definitely my favorite cardio – running is probably a close second though. Both of them totally help me get out of my head ๐Ÿ˜‰

  4. Tess on December 7, 2013 at 9:42 am

    Gymboss rocks! Tabata is SO much easier with it as well as interval training. Love it.

  5. Rachael on December 7, 2013 at 9:44 am

    I love spinning!!

  6. Jenn on December 7, 2013 at 9:45 am

    I love me a good zumba class!!

  7. Andrea on December 7, 2013 at 9:47 am

    My favorite form of cardio is barre yoga! Who knew such small movements can give you such big results!

  8. Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs on December 7, 2013 at 9:47 am

    Running & HIIT!

  9. Jen B on December 7, 2013 at 9:48 am

    I was only a runner for years. I started falling in love with HIIT training after trying Insanity. Now I love making up my own HIIT workouts, or trying ones I find on Pinterest or blogs, like yours!

  10. Mariah on December 7, 2013 at 9:49 am

    Swimming!

  11. jen on December 7, 2013 at 9:50 am

    marathon training!

  12. Stephanie on December 7, 2013 at 9:54 am

    My favorite cardio is a good ‘ole run. I’ve been missing it sorely since I’ve been injured most of the year, but I’m finally on the mend and starting to (very slowly!) incorporate it back into my routine.

    I love the idea of this timer! I have been looking for something to aid me through HIIT and the fact that it can just vibrate instead of making a noise or having to stare at it is awesome. I will probably put this on the Christmas list this year in the (likely) event that I don’t win. Thanks for posting this!

  13. Alex on December 7, 2013 at 9:54 am

    I love spinning but want to do more HIIT training with weights

  14. Shira on December 7, 2013 at 9:56 am

    I love HIIT! It’s hard for me to do steady state on machines these days, I get so bored, HIIT makes things fast and fun!

  15. Melissa Caulfield on December 7, 2013 at 10:08 am

    I am just getting into HIIT for weight loss so this would be such a blessing!

  16. Rachel on December 7, 2013 at 10:13 am

    I love running, but this would definitely help with my interval training!!

  17. Megan on December 7, 2013 at 10:13 am

    I love spinning but I often take breaks from the class due to arthritis in my foot. The Gym Boss looks like such an amazing tool to use in the gym, at home or in my hotel room on a work trip!

  18. Mary Russell on December 7, 2013 at 10:14 am

    Use a phone app, but I’ve seen this on body rock. Would love to have one!

  19. Amanda Bee on December 7, 2013 at 10:14 am

    I still love just running outdoors – a timer would be great for outdoor HIIT.

  20. Cate on December 7, 2013 at 10:15 am

    I am recuperating from an injury, so the elliptical is my go-to machine right now. I have even added some HIIT intervals to my elliptical workouts to try to get myself back in form. Fast and furious HIIT workouts are great!

  21. Kate on December 7, 2013 at 10:17 am

    I love zumba if I can make it to a class with my crazy work hours!

  22. Alison W on December 7, 2013 at 10:18 am

    Running, running and more running! It is the one thing that challenges me most!!

  23. Katie on December 7, 2013 at 10:25 am

    I love HIIT workouts and hiking!

  24. Ruthie on December 7, 2013 at 10:29 am

    Zumba or kayaking…the kinda thing where you are having so much fun you don’t notice an hour has gone by. Can’t beat fun AND good for you.

  25. Diane on December 7, 2013 at 10:30 am

    I love this!! I’m a huge fan of HIIT training as well! You rock!

  26. Amy on December 7, 2013 at 10:33 am

    I have started training with the TRX suspension ropes and I absolutely love it!!

  27. Jaime M on December 7, 2013 at 10:36 am

    I love running, but I don’t always have tons of time, so I like to throw some HIIT in there with a Run/walk! I usually estimate my time on/off- one of these timers would be awesome!

  28. Jocelyn Isaacs Erb on December 7, 2013 at 10:42 am

    HIIT workouts on the TM, alternating with some strength/plyometrics! I love making up my own HIIT workouts too:)

  29. Jessica Mason on December 7, 2013 at 10:47 am

    Running!

  30. Haley on December 7, 2013 at 10:51 am

    Running definitely!

  31. Lindsay @ Typically Late on December 7, 2013 at 11:10 am

    Running is my go-to cardio, but I also like BodyAttack!

  32. Charlotte on December 7, 2013 at 11:14 am

    I love HITT training and hiking as my cardio. Pretty much complete opposites!

  33. Naomi on December 7, 2013 at 11:15 am

    Zumba!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  34. jenny l. on December 7, 2013 at 11:18 am

    This is new to me, the gymboss is a great idea!

  35. Randi on December 7, 2013 at 11:20 am

    I love HIIT training!

  36. Megan B. on December 7, 2013 at 11:23 am

    My favorite form of cardio is hiking or snowboarding, though I usually just run.

  37. Meredith on December 7, 2013 at 11:24 am

    Would love to try this!

  38. Stephanie on December 7, 2013 at 11:25 am

    You’re right – this is a great gift idea too!

  39. Laura on December 7, 2013 at 11:27 am

    I love running!

  41. Nicole M. on December 7, 2013 at 11:34 am

    For the extra motivation to not take too long of breaks when I’m doing HIIT, I’ve been wanting one of these for a while! They seem so convenient!

  42. Ashley on December 7, 2013 at 11:42 am

    Cool idea!!

  43. Amy on December 7, 2013 at 11:51 am

    Spinning…with an awesome bunch of people at 5:30 am

  44. Ari on December 7, 2013 at 12:13 pm

    Oh how I would love this! Especially trying to work out more on my own this year!

  45. Laura on December 7, 2013 at 12:16 pm

    Zumba!

  46. Elizabeth on December 7, 2013 at 12:17 pm

    Running, for sure!

  47. Maggie on December 7, 2013 at 12:37 pm

    I love the erg (aka rowing machine)! And cardio kickboxing classes.. hard to keep up with all the dance-y moves, but so much fun! ๐Ÿ™‚

  48. Tess on December 7, 2013 at 12:42 pm

    My favorite form of cardio is running!

  49. Kelly @ Kelly Runs for Food on December 7, 2013 at 12:52 pm

    This is awesome! Running is my favorite mode of cardio, but I also love circuit workouts!

  50. Amanda on December 7, 2013 at 12:53 pm

    YaY! I have been wanting one of these! ๐Ÿ™‚ I love HIIT for sure!
