A dead simple interval timer. Open it, press play, train. Set your ready, work and rest times and the number of sets — that is the whole setup. A voice counts you in and calls every interval, so you never have to look at the screen while you train. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR • HIIT and Tabata • Strength sets and weight circuits • Burpees, planks, mountain climbers, sprints • Stretching and mobility work • Anything that runs on a clock KEEPS GOING WHEN YOU LOOK AWAY Watch a video, change the music, lock your phone — the timer keeps counting and keeps talking. Glance at your Lock Screen to see how much is left. PLAYS WITH YOUR MUSIC Your music keeps going at its own volume. The announcements come over the top. FREE No account. No subscription. No full-screen ads. ABOUT TABATA Twenty seconds of work, ten seconds of rest, eight rounds, after a short warm-up. Devised by Professor Izumi Tabata at Ritsumeikan University, and used for squats, exercise bikes, running and much else. Maximum effort in each round is the point: a few minutes is said to do the work of far longer. Every duration is adjustable, so it does a great deal more than Tabata.

EVX Tactical

You don't train to look good in a photo. You train to stay capable: to carry weight, to move without discomfort and to perform when it actually matters. EVX Tactical is a performance control system for men aged 35 to 60 who have no time to waste. No trends, no influencer routines: structure, judgment and scientific backing. THREE PROTOCOLS. ONE SYSTEM. You don't start where you'd like to. You start where your body is today. ARMOR "Muscle is your armor." Build mass and structure where it matters most: upper back, shoulders and core. Effective mechanical tension, without frying your nervous system. ENDURANCE "Hard to kill." Work your mobility, joints and tendons, and build a tireless aerobic engine in Zone 2, with zero impact. Your starting point if you're coming from a sedentary life or carrying nagging aches. Backed by the biomechanics of Dr. Stuart McGill. TACTICAL "Real operational performance." Fuses maximal strength with high-power conditioning: heavy barbell, kettlebells, carries and rucking. Technique and stability under fatigue, to NSCA (Tactical Strength & Conditioning) and Tactical Barbell standards. BUILT FOR YOUR AGE, NOT FOR A 20-YEAR-OLD. A short questionnaire assigns your protocol and starting phase, and calibrates load and recovery to your real body. You train 3, 4 or 5 days a week: we fit the plan to your schedule, not the other way around. WHAT YOU GET • All 3 protocols and 9 progression phases • Every mission with a demonstration video • Biometrics tracking and progress stats • A clear path: you know what to do and why This is not empty motivation.
