Ha ha, I decided to try the 7-min workout last night for the heck of it and I basically wanted something exactly like this. Nice job, it does its purpose perfectly.

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

Great 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.

I want to make this now

I emailed a link to your 7 min workout timer to my girlfriend. This was her response. Nice job.

"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!"

It 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!

This analysis of the workout was linked in the comments.

Shameless plug: I made an iOS app, called Bootcamp, that does that. The app has a library of exercises you can choose from to create your own workout. Check it out: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bootcamp/id398974469?mt=8

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

No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.

Surely this would be the MVP for such an app - he should probably should capture email addresses of interested people though.
