Timer Recommendation?

I'm looking for a timer that I could set different alarms to. For example, if i wanted to do 10 minutes of 10 different ab exercises, I could set it to ring every 1 minute so i could know when to switch.

I don't want to have to reset it every minute.

Ideally, I would like it to go up to 60 minutes and set it for 1-10 minute increments.

Does anything like this exist?

Thanks.

Yep, I was going to suggest a gymboss. I don't have the new one, but is should be able to do that kind of programing. Maybe you can even email and ask them if it work they way you mentioned.

Even the old gymboss (which I have) can do what you describe. It's a nice li'l device, very easy to use. I recommend it!

i just got my gym boss. i can set up the 1 minute interval, but i have to keep pressing it to repeat.

is there a way to beep every minute for a total of 10 minutes? i just don't want to keep pressing it if i'm in the middle of doing an exercise.

thanks.

One way is to set it with one minute on, one minute off with 5 repeats for a total of 10 minutes. There is probably a way to get it to keep going at one minute intervals, but that's how I normally use it.

Yes, let me grab mine and see how I do this (controls may be slightly different, mine is the older model).
You need to get it set to Auto mode instead of Man (manual). On mine, you'd do it like this:

Hold the Next and Change buttons together to change settings.
First setting is Single/Double. You want Single, if it says Double then press Change to get Single. Press Next and set the time to 01:00.
The next setting is Auto/Man. Press Change if needed till it says Man.
Press Next through the rest of the settings (change what you want of course).

Auto means keep timing until you stop it by pressing the button on the side. Man means run the timer once and then stop automatically.
