Workout Timer

Workout Timer is a lightweight software application that helps you keep track of your physical exercises by displaying a small timer on your desktop. It doesn’t target a specific type of sport, as it aims to give you a simple way to assign a time period for the performed exercises.

Since this is a portable program, you can copy it on any USB flash drive or any other devices, and take it with you whenever you want to apply a timer on your desktop. Plus, it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

This cross-platform utility sports a minimalist window which is divided into three small panes, with each of them giving details about the time for the training session, rest time and number of rounds.

Workout Timer bundles only a few configuration settings, as you can start or stop the timer, specify the time values for the workout session and rest period as well as the number of rounds.

It is important to mention that hotkeys are also available for a better control of the entire process, but they cannot be reassigned. The timer can be placed on any area of the screen, but it is not possible to change the window’s dimensions.

It doesn’t require much computer knowledge to work with this tool, as it comprises only a few dedicated parameters. However, it would have been useful to see support for an exporting option, so you can later track your progress.

All things considered, Workout Timer is a simple application that places a timer on your desktop. Since it offers only a few customizable options to meet your workout needs, it is suitable even for less experienced users.
