Rest Timer

This rest timer helps you track rest periods between exercise sets. Proper rest timing is crucial for effective workouts.

How to Use

1. Complete your exercise set
2. Press "Start" to begin your rest period
3. The timer counts down from your set rest duration
4. An audio alert tells you when to start your next set

Recommended Rest Periods

• Strength training: 2-5 minutes between heavy sets
• Muscle building: 60-90 seconds between sets
• Endurance: 30-60 seconds between sets
• Circuit training: 15-30 seconds between exercises

Why Rest Periods Matter

Rest periods allow muscles to partially recover ATP stores. For strength training, longer rest enables lifting heavier weights. For hypertrophy, shorter rest increases metabolic stress, contributing to muscle growth.
