ITGO - Interval Trainer GO - is a dedicated interval signaling App for the iPhone and iPod Touch specifically designed to offer advanced user controlled signaling in the form of vibration, sound and visual alerts while playing user defined, App-specific fast/slow interval song playlists.

FEATURES:
To access ITGO V1.4 Premium features please upgrade now.
Premium features and benefits include:
1. RATIO - The new default max Ratio is 1:6 however ITGO now has an adjustable Ratio from 1:1-20. This higher ratio is accessed by double tapping the ratio button and selecting “Value” to numerically enter the ratio value from 3 to 20. ITGO then gives you a choice of either 1:1, half the maximum value and the maximum value. For example a maximum ratio value of 10 would show as 1:1, 1:5, 1:10. Again, double tapping the ratio and selecting Flip will allow you to flip the slow and fast interval ratios.
2. INTERVAL LENGTH
ITGO now features more flexible intervals from 4 seconds to 90 seconds.

Engage the Beep feature by selecting Beeps in the Sounds page.

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".
