"Do you set your gymboss for both the work and rest? How do you do that in a group if not everyone finishes the reps?"
Answer
"I set my Gymboss for 30 sec intervals ONLY to count the intervals trained so I know when to stop! If my Gymboss reads "30" then I know we have been training for 15 minutes. I don't need to time work and rest separately. If we are training intervals other than 30/30, say 45/15 I go by a big clock on the wall with a second hand so everybody can see when the next work set or rest set starts.
Since I lead, and pace, each one of my classes, 99% of the time everybody finishes at the same exact time. If not, one or two reps difference is not a big deal at all. And sometimes it's because a student started the work set late, or swings slower (usually because of a heavier bell). It's not a big deal if they finish after the workset time, OR if they cut their set short by one or two reps. It's all good!"
If you have a question that you would like answered it will more likely be seen, therefore addressed, if you post it as a comment here on my blog, or as a comment on my facebook fan page, The Swing, http://www.facebook.com/TracyReifkindTheSwing?ref=ts&fref=ts I love getting emails, but I apologize for any that get missed and/or not responded to within a reasonable time frame. I've been a terrible PA to myself, but it's something that I'm getting better at all the time. Thank you for your understanding!

I love my gymboss. I have several but recently found out that they don't work in temperatures of 20F and below.
I use them for my running intervals too, winter started early here and even my garmin is going to give up sub zero
Uggh, another reason to move south!!
Hanneke,
I just had two Gymboss's die on me!
Of course I'm freakin' out a bit....they are my secruity blanket!
Oh, and all kinds of reasons to move south! I'm spoiled with high quality problems!
