One small suggestion: Perhaps a louder audio cue for transitions between exercises in case you aren't looking at the screen.

#32Great idea, you could make a pretty cool app out of this: let people create routines by letting them associate pictures with exercise names and amount of seconds. They could then create workouts by creating a list of exercises and rest periods and play their routing with the timer you created. Does this exist? I want one.

#34"THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!
That's. The. Most. Ingenious. Thing. Ever.
Now, I just have to bring my phone with me. Woohoo!
When I play it on the computer it ticks down, my phones doesn't so I'll have to pay attention to it, which could be tricky, but that's sweet. Thanks!"

#36It seemed like most of the comments when the article was on HN were saying that this is not a very good workout... Having said that, cool site, looks great!

#38That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute workout timer. Then you're in trouble, huh?
