A simple app for HIIT exercise. How many seconds is your walking/low intensity interval? How many seconds is your running/high intensity interval? How many intervals do you want to do? Hit Start, your phone will buzz at the end of every interval and twice at the end, so you don't even need to keep an eye on your phone.
