This cries out for an app, which uses both visual and audio cues to prompt the next exercise, and count down each period. EG:
"Starting your 7 minute workout with Jumping Jacks in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."
"Start Jumping Jacks for 30... [optional chirp-per-second]... 20 seconds... 10 seconds... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."
"Rest now, next is Wall Sit... in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."
"Begin Wall Sit for 30... [etc]"
Obviously, it could be a static recording. But some obvious enhancements would be:
• visual countdown timer
• changing images of the exercises to precede/accompany each phase
• optional chirps/clicks each second
• alternate trainer voices
• optional extra voiced 'encouragement' ("keep up intensity", "good", "almost there", "all done")
• automatic logging/reminders of when/how-often circuit is completed (either based on how many times started run through uninterrupted, or based on a prompted "did you finish and what was your self-rated 1-10 intensity?" question at the end)
- dalore 14y agoSounds like Wii Fit.
- peterwwillis 14y agoThere are several apps that do this. Some of them even have videos or pictures showing you how to do it. But a very basic HIIT interval timer works perfectly well, just write down each exercise on a sheet of paper and do them one at a time.

- nsxwolf 14y agoHow about use some FFT analysis so the user can call out "One! Two! Three!" and the app will automatically advance?
- ricardobeat 14y agoThis is basically what every fitness video since the 80s does. If you want something longer than 7 minutes, this one is pretty good: http://www.teambeachbody.com/workout-routines/insanity-workout http://www.teambeachbody.com/workout-routines/insanity-worko...
