Gymboss

My husband and I are trying to adopt a healthier lifestyle by eating healthy and making our body stronger through various exercises. Interval training is something that we are trying to constantly challenge our bodies.

According to http://sportsmedicine.about.com, interval training helps to "increase in cardiovascular efficiency (the ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles) as well as increased tolerance to the build-up of lactic acid. These changes result in improved performance, greater speed, and endurance." 

In a much simpler manner, interval training helps to: 

1. Increase Efficiency

2. Burn more fat 

3. Build a healthier heart 

4. Loose Fat and not Muscle (steady state cardio seems to encourage muscle loss) 

5. Increase Metabolism (i so so so so SOOOO need this) 

I tried a few routines but it was quite difficult to maintain my focus having to look at my watch constantly so check the time. Then, I found this interval timer called Gymboss online. To my surprise, it is pretty affordable. At a price of USD20, you'll get the Gymboss interval timer. 

Functions? 

• 1 or 2 intervals - 2 seconds to 99 minutes 
• Repeat up to 99 times 
• Beep and/or Vibrate alarm 
• Alarm duration 1, 5, or 10 seconds 
• Stopwatch function 
• Secure Belt clip Compact Size (1 ¾ x 2 ¼ x ½ inches) 
• Water and shock resistant 

Delivery only cost USD4 to Malaysia regardless of how many units you get. On the website, they state that delivery would take 1-2weeks depending on custom clearance.

So, Wednesday last week, I purchased 2 units (one for the hubster and one for me!). The service was very fast. A few hours later, I received an e-mail stating that they have shipped the parcel and I received the parcel yesterday! That's less than a week! Hubster and I are super excited. We can't wait to explore and use out Gymboss Interval Timer.
