Thanks again to everyone. I'm going to keep the webapp completely open and free as long as anyone is using it, and I'll definitely open up the code once I clean it a bit. If anyone would like to port it to IOS, I'd be happy to chat. lgsilver (at) gmail.com -- Lindsay

#52My only complaint is that it doesn't tick on my phone.

#53Bug Report: Clicking the initial countdown clock 2-3 times messes up the entire timer.
Confirmed this on Chrome, the behavior is strange.

Bookmarked! I'm going to do this every day and see how it works!
Re: Show HN: My seven minute workout timer evening project
#55Nice job! Little bit of feedback: 1. The images don't update until after the first tick of the new exercise. It would be nice if the updated when the rest screen changes to the new exercise screen with the timer and the text. 2. It would be cool if for exercises like the side plank (I think that's the only one in this set), where you hold something on each side, it gave you a halfway warning to tell you that it's tim…
It would be nice to have a sound option, too - to just say the exercise name when it starts - so you don't need to look at your computer all the time.

Cool work ! I was just trying to start doing this, but was lacking this thing you just made. :) ... The only suggestion I have is, instead of the two static images at each stage if you could create simple animated gifs that explain the exercise a bit more clearly, it will be great to share with friends who don't probably understand by just two images.

#59After the 1st excercise it starts at 7 seconds rest and then 26 seconds for the next excercises (Chrome/Win).
I also wonder why the images or better the whole site isn't responsive? I would also add a link to one of the sources.

#60Great 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 agree that for the best results, changing it up (also called Muscle Confusion - http://athletics.wikia.com/wiki/Muscle_Confusion_Principle) is also necessary.
Instead of making your own workout (which most people are not qualified to do), we've built an app that asks for your goal, level, time, equipment, etc. to build you a personalized routine that changes as you go: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/pumpup-workout-coach/id57307....
The hardest part of working out shouldn't be coming up with the plan.
