Glossary

Countdown

It's the initial timer that starts before your workout begins. It gives you time to prepare before diving into your exercises.

Sets

A set consists of multiple rounds of intervals. Once all rounds in a set are completed, there might be a rest period before moving to the next set.

Rounds

Each round contains a sequence of intervals. Once all intervals in a round are finished, the next round begins until all rounds in the set are completed.

Intervals

An interval is a specific duration of exercise or activity. For instance, you might have an interval for jogging for 1 minute and another interval for walking for 30 seconds.

Rest Between Sets

After completing all rounds in a set, you might want to rest before starting the next set. This duration is the rest between sets.
