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.
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:
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 ๐
Here’s how to enter:
This one has a quick turnaround as it ends tomorrow night at midnight! The lucky winners will be announced in my Sunday am post.
Ready, set, go!

My favorite cardio is anything I can do with my little one in tow!!
Nothing beats the treadmill for me!
I love outdoor bootcamp and am missing it terribly since it is currently 0 degrees F outside.. She uses a gymboss all the time to help kick out butts.
I love running, but lifting is a close second.
I love any cardio CLASS, it helps me amp up my intensity, otherwise I’m a long, moderate lone runner!
I must say my favorite method of cardio is running and I never thought I would say that! Nothing leans me out like running but I still like to break it up with some interval training too. Love your blog, keep being awesome!
My fav is running outdoors!!
I’m so strange and love the treadmill! I do love long distance running though!
Jumping jacks or long walks!
My favorite type of cardio is running! I can’t get enough!
I’m definitely not a big fan of cardio, but CrossFit is a great cardio workout!
Such a cool giveaway! I am a huge fan of interval training and this would be such a nice thing to have. I could stop staring at the minute hand on the gym clock!
$438 for a purse?! RIDIC
Very cool:)
Running outdoors is both my favorite and least favorite cardio activity!
I love zumba and spinning is a close second!
Zumba is my absolute favorite form of cardio
Definitely spin!!!!
Burpee HIIT routine!
I love doing intervals with bodyweight cardio exercises!
A Gymboss Timer….would love so I could stop keeping one eye on the clock timing out my sessions! ๐
I love dancing but a close second is intense circuit workouts.
I love a good HIIT workout!
I love running but lately I’ve also been getting into the row machine more. It’s such a great method for exercise!
Running outside in the Fall!
I’m loving a combination of HIIT on the treadmill or elliptical – depending on how my knee is feeling!
I love to run!
Love HIIT for the high it gives me in such a short time ๐
Lately the row machine is my favorite cardio. I love that it also has a strength aspect that I don’t focus enough on.
Definitely running!
My favorite cardio is HIITs, too! They’re short, sweet and effective.
Just experienced HIIT workouts…love it! I would love this timer!
I love running outside, and l love cardio classes like step and zumba indoors.
That would be sooo handy! I love to do high intense cardio circuts, makes time go by faster it always seems!
LOVE HIIT training!!!! This would be perfect!
I love running and spin classes!
I love HIIT and cycling!
I love running outdoors but try to do some type of functional workout as well on a weekly basis. A timer would be great.
Running is hands down my favorite cardio! It doesn’t help that I’ve been sidelined by stress fractures for the past few months. So for now I try to use some intense pool running or other weird cardio machines at the gym.
This is the coolest gift ever! I have been looking for thees everywhere! I love interval training. My stopwatch just doesn’t cut it haha ๐
HIIT is definitely the best kind of cardio! Gymboss would make it perfect.
Just started running again and I’m loving the high!
Ooooo what a great stocking suffer!!
Favorite form of cardio used to be running, but after an injury the elliptical has pet me sane!
That would be a great gift!
I prefer HIIT intervals but when it’s warm and I actually have some endurance I love to run outside.
The step mill.
Stairmaster! I know I’m weird, but the treadmill messes with my SI joints every time, and the elliptical is spaced too wide for my hips.
My favorite mode of cardio (never thought to use that word before) is to dance! I love dancing and if I can’t do it for whatever reason, which is hardly ever, then I’ll deign to do some HIIT.
This would help with at-home workouts so much – I use an app for my iPhone, but like you, I tend to first check email, then facebook, etc and before I know it, I could have gotten my workout over and done in that time!
