High-intensity interval training (HIIT) or interval training is an exercise strategy that has been scientifically proven to be one of the most effective forms of cardiovascular exercise for burning fat in a short and intense workout. In a recent study, the American College of Sport Medicine concluded that interval training may be "particularly critical for improving cardiac function." (1) Sessions typically vary from 15–30 minutes with intervals being 2:1 ratio in terms of time. Typically, jogging for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds sprinting. But systematically measuring these intervals without a personal trainer or cardio machines if you are jogging, cycling, rowing or using machines without automatic programmes presented a problem that is now addressed by ITGO.
Appnoose founder OD Hunte began developing ITGO after successfully losing 5 stone in body fat and being featured in the December 2008 edition on Men's Health UK. Hunte put his own personal research into the development of ITGO and states the result is "the best available interval training experience for the iPhone and iPod Touch".
