Prepare! — Start! — Release! — Repeat! — Switch! • ”I tried quite a few and this is the best one hands down!" • ”I might actually DO the exercises my PT prescribed, thanks to this app!" • ”I've looked at many timers for stretches, floor exercises, weight lifting... and this is the perfect one!" TIMER AND COUNTER FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY Keeps time, counts reps and sets, and lets you focus on your exercise, or something else—not the clock. YOU ENTER YOUR OWN EXERCISES Add instructions and photos, or a weblink, and set up your entire routine, exactly as prescribed by your therapist. Fine-tune cues and timers to match your personal pace. Note: this app does NOT offer pre-defined exercises (other than a few examples). KEY BENEFITS *** Some features are available only during the free trial or with a paid subscription as described below. • Stop counting seconds and reps—focus on proper form, breathing, or even reading or listening to music. • Clear voice and tone cues that work alongside music, podcasts, or when the app runs in the background. • Store all exercise instructions: notes, photos, and web links, with spoken guidance in a voice you choose. • Precisely adjust timers to fit your needs. • Schedule exercises and receive reminders. • Take notes after each exercise and email reports directly to your physical therapist. • Export workouts to PDF, including instructions, photos, and schedules. • Apple Health integration records exercise type and duration. MORE FROM THE REVIEWS • "The app is very easy to use and has resulted in the quality of my exercises increasing markedly … it does meet my needs to a "T"!" • "Best one ever. Have tried 2 others. At 65 stretching is important and this app helps." • "…it lets you focus on other things if you have simple boring exercises." BASIC VERSUS PAID SUBSCRIPTION CAPABILITIES Without a subscription, PT Timer provides limited basic functionality. During a free trial or an active subscription, you can create new exercises with instructions, timers, schedules and more. After the free trial, without a subscription, functionality for those exercises becomes limited. • In basic (unpaid) mode you can: view exercise routines created during a trial or subscription; view instructions and photos; receive already scheduled alerts; check off completed exercises; add and view notes after completing exercises; export to PDF. • Subscription-only features include: timing and counting; creating and editing exercises and workouts; modifying schedules; technical support. • NOTE: This app does not provide exercises or instructions (other than a few examples). You must enter exercises tailored to your own needs. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTIONS Several subscription options are available with different renewal periods.

It motivates and helps you to get up from your desk or otherwise routines every few hrs and do a quick 2-5mins workout with your colleagues/friends/family. THE PROBLEM Our modern lifestyles - long sitting hours, slouching over desk/laptop/phone, long driving hours etc - continually disrupt the natural bio-mechanical balance of our bodies! We are simply carrying the daily accumulating effects of this unnatural lifestyle into everything we do, including our workouts! THE SOLUTION Do not let it accumulate! Simple! Do not let the stress of these unnatural positions accumulate for more than a few hrs continually. We should aim to get up from our desks every few hrs during the day and give our bodies the gift of simple but essential 2-5 minutes natural movement workouts! More features: - Natural Movement Program - In-built essential natural movements program to counter the ill-effects of unavoidable modern sedentary lifestyles - All these programs are less than 5 minutes in time and can be done anywhere - Especially designed to be done a few times everyday, even while at work, so as to counter those long sitting hours - Trophy achievements and streaks - Receive a Silver Trophy every time you do even a single small workout - Get rewarded by the elusive Golden Trophy when you do 3 small workouts spread thorough the day, totaling a minimum of 15 minutes - Proudly show your mobility/activity streak and a be a fitness hero amongst your friends - Community gameplay - View workout updates from people across the globe - Create your own networks/gangs/groups and target those fitness goals together - Post your workout completion achievements and trophies to community and spread some motivation Key definitions: HIIT: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of interval training, a cardiovascular exercise strategy alternating short periods of intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods, until too exhausted to continue. Tempo Training: Tempo training is adding constant and measured speed into the workout. It helps in building more muscles, increasing strength and burning fat fast. The purpose of tempo training is to hold the worked muscle under positive tension simulation for longer period at a steady speed. But then, keeping a tab of either time or repetitions mentally takes our focus away from the essential aspects like breathing and form etc. And that is where the unique Live Voice-Coach feature of the O'Coach app really comes into play!
