Pulse150 is time-based interval training for people who train hard and are done with boring routines. No rep counting. No guesswork. You build a session, hit play, and train on the clock — hard effort, then deliberate recovery, alternating through every block. THE METHOD Every session is four blocks, and every block has a reason — nothing is random. Push hard, back off, repeat. It's how boxers train between rounds and runners train between intervals. Always alternating. Always time-based. ONE ENGINE, EVERY MODALITY • Boxing & kickboxing — build your own combos punch by punch (jab, cross, hooks, kicks, knees) • HIIT & conditioning — energy-system work that drives your heart rate up • Plyometrics — explosive jumps, med-ball slams, jump rope • Calisthenics — push-ups, pull-ups, core • Cardio machines — treadmill, bike, rower, ski, stair, with effort-based calorie estimates • Speed & agility — ladders and shuttle drills • Mobility & stretching — deliberate recovery and prep BUILD YOUR SESSION • Assemble a 4-block session from 750+ movements • Set intensity, duration, and rest — to the second • Save and reuse your favorite blocks • Audio cues call every interval, so you never watch the clock TRACK WHAT MATTERS • Personalized calorie estimates — based on your body, not a generic number • Per-block history, recorded automatically • Muscles worked and weekly output at a glance Download Pulse150 and train like an athlete.
