I want to do a 5-minute warm up walk followed by 7 one-minute runs with 2 minute walks and a 5-minute cool down. Will it do that?

Nope. You should invest in a Garmin watch :). This just does STRAIGHT intervals. You could time the 5 min warm up and cool down on your own. . . then use this for the 7:2's.

Not unless you set all those intervals up seperately and keep changing/restarting. The Gymboss minimax has that capability.

The Gymboss Minimax does have that for a few dollars more. This is the basic Gymboss and it doesn't have that capability.

The size is great for me! I only walk 2.5 mph usually. A "brisk" walk is fine, but a jog may be a little too much as it is not long enough to really stretch out.

It is good for me and I use it only when outside weather doesn't allow me to walk my 3-mile circuit. I find you can exert yourself more or less as you choose; there are times when I wish this did have more resistance. It sounds as though you are a seasoned fast walker or runner. If so, the Supreme with more resistance would probably be better for you. I didn't know there was one or I may have gotten that instead.

I usually power walk anyway, with jogging added in. And it counts my steps from the time I put it on in the morning until I take it off, even after doing my walks.

For me, I set the fan setting on 4 or 5. That should probably get you 99% of the exercises you will need. After that, focus on two numbers only on the display: 1) strokes per minute (s/m) and 2) split time ("x"/500m). Target s/m during training of 18-30. Target a split time of whatever is comfortable. I would recommend a trial cardio of 26-28 s/m and split time of 2:05-2:15. Start at goal of keeping that up for 5 minutes, then add in more time and faster split times (it is hard to get faster than 32-34 s/m, so adjust duration of workout and/or split time). If you don't get a good cardio workout with these targets, you are already a super athlete...or you are some sort of supernatural being! For me, I set the fan setting on 4 or 5.

You can go as fast or as slow as you would like. It isn't a running motion, but a gliding motion. I go slower but my wife goes pretty fast and gets a good work out. She runs 3 to 5 times a week, and has run in marathons. On cold days she'll use this over our tread mill for a good work out. I hope this helps.

If you use manual type of seting you can set your pace; according to how far you want to run in one hour. This treadmill can maxium up to 10 mph.if you want to train to run faster then this it is not fit for you.If you want irregular pace you can up or down speed during runnig or pick the program which you want.For count of steps that completly on how tall and how long your legs are.

It will count swimming and yoga as steps every stroke or movement your arm does. But I don't know if it counts it as walking or jogging for the intensity.

no, schedule each to run however long you want them to ( 5 minutes, 10 min. etc.) as one shuts off the next will start up after a couple of seconds

This will do it for you. If you reset it just before you start your run you will get steps, time and distance. I think it's a greatlittle pedometer.

Depending what you really mean, you can set it up for a 30-minute workout(up to 99minutes and 59seconds) and just adjust your chosen exercises according to which ones you can do in that 30-minute session!It can count down, than it buzzes when it reaches 00:00, OR it can count up(I've never tried allowing it to count up till it reaches its end(99:59) so I don't know if it rings or buzzes when it does!!ALL-IN-ALL I USE THIS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT'S PERFECT FOR SHORT POWER-NAPS, MEDITATION, COOKING, FLUSH SET EXERCISING, TIMING YOUR SPEED, etc...

Yes! You can make your "training" on "intervals"..Once there you can set: Warmup (distance or time) 1. Work (distance or time) 2. Rest (distance or time) # Sets Cooldown (distance or time) For any of the goals/training, you can set it to notify you via vibration or sound or both. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I cannot tell. Walking is not a listed activity in the menu. But I am a slow runner, 10 minute mile and it tracks it find and I would go even slower. But I never tried to only walk.

You can manually add the amount of minutes of your activity (walking at a brisk pace eg.), but not the number of steps or miles. You can convert the number of miles you walk into minutes depending on your pace if you have to. I wear mine 24-7 clipped to a pocket, waistband or my bra so I'm never without it except when I swim or bathe.

I would think so. Depends on the functions you are looking for. Distance, pace, speed, etc all work great. FYI, the pace calculation is not instantaneous pace, but an average over about a minute or so.

Hi Sarah, Her workouts average at about 30 to 40 minutes each including the warm up which is about 4 minutes, and the cool down stretching which is about 2 minutes. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions!

It's been a few weeks since I read the manual. My best recollection is that it has 31(?) "transition" times per 24 hour period that you can program into it. A transition is from off to on, or from on to off. To do this for 24 hours would require 48 transition times. So, I guess the answer is no. You could use 2 of them with the contacts connected in series. Program 1 unit for 12 hours of transitions, and the other unit for the other 12 hours. ***REVISION*** OK, I just looked at the manual, and it has 17 on/off transitions, NOT 31. So you would need 3 of these connected in series if you want 24-hour operation of on/off every 15 minutes.
