Ninety seconds is a sweet spot for resting between strength sets, giving your muscles time to recover without cooling down. It is also a handy length for reheating a mug of coffee or keeping a lightning talk tight. Press Start, glance at the ring as it empties, and the bell tells you when the minute and a half is up.
Ways to use this timer
- Rest between heavy squat or bench press sets
- Lightning talks or show-and-tell with a strict time limit
- Letting a pan or griddle heat up before cooking
