Request: Tabata

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi,

Can somebody make simple TABATA app please ? (http://www.active.com/fitness/articles/what-is-tabata-training)
Just simple timer for lets say:
- 10sec prep

and then repeat 8-times
- 20sec timer (work)
- 10sec timer (rest)

with beeps/vibration between

I think that many people looking forward to buy Vivoactive would appreciate that.

Thanks
Martin

Sounds almost exactly like this request, but with some of the numbers and conditions tweaked. Unfortunately, since the Vivoactive doesn't support custom workouts, it looks like an app is the only solution.

I'm pretty sure I can build something that is generic and would allow the user to define the steps for a complete workout.

Hi Travis,

Thanks for your reply.
I suggested specific Tabata app, since from my experience, a lot of people are training Tabats and 8 x 20 + 10 sets are core in timing, so with a specific app thee would be no need to tweak things.

But, yes, somehow universal app can be a solution too :)

Thanks
Martin

Why dont you just create a new activity with HR tracking and a training with the intervals you want?

Echoing another developer on this.. "seems like VA users want to get a cheaper device and want features from the more expensive device"

seems like a good idea with the exception that the garmin app store is not a 'pay' store and developers may need more enticement other than just a pat on the back.

just saying :-p
