GYM Counter

GYM Counter is a new iPhone / iPod / iPad application (fully supporting the new iOS) aimed at encouraging health & care and sport activities for men and women as for example making sets of repetitions for abdominals without taking care about numbers of times and seconds elapsed (see http://www.unipg.it/carlo/apps/gymcounter for more information).
GYM Counter can be adopted by trainers as well as by whose wanting to perform exercises at home reading a book or watching TV: while dedicated counters (Sets, Repetitions and Seconds) go on, a voice will alert you when you have to be ready to start, when you have to start each set or repetition and/or when you have to stop as well. Therefore, you have not to worry about nothing else than setup properly your assistant at the beginning !

Accordingly, you have to fill in GYM Counter 5 auto-explicative fields as follows (see GYM Counter at work on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO4mgatxQH8):

1) 'Number of total Sets': a number > 0;
2) 'Rest between Sets' (in seconds): a number = 0 when 'Number of total Sets' = 1 (in fact having a rest doesn’t make sense in this case) or a number > 0 when 'Number of total Sets' > 1;
3) 'Repetitions for each Set': a number > 0;
4) ‘Duration’ (in seconds): a number > 0;
5) ‘Interval’ (in seconds): a number = 0 when 'Repetitions for each Set' = 1 (in fact having a pause doesn’t make sense in this case) or a number > 0 when 'Repetitions for each Set' > 1.

Finally, you start GYM Counter by pressing the button ‘Start’. That’s all.

Usage Example:

Make 4 sets ['Number of total Sets' field will be 4] pausing for 30 seconds between each one ['Rest between Sets' field will be 30]. For each set, make 12 repetitions of abdominal ['Repetitions for each Set' field will be 12]. Each repetition of abdominal goes on for 20 seconds ['Duration' field will be 20] using an interval of 10 seconds ['Interval' field will be 10].
In this case a voice in GYM Counter will alert you before starting each set and each repetition, when you have to respectively start and stop each of them (in this case a ‘gong’ sound will denote the end of a set while the voice telling ‘stop’ will denote repetitions ending) and when the whole exercise has ended.
