Basically, my doctor asked me to do some specific stretching exercises 2 to 3 times a day for the next 2 weeks.
I need to hold the position for 30 second, switch leg, then 30 second again. Do that 3 times (so 6 x 30 seconds)
I love the idea of having a Watch app that simply vibrate when the 30 second is over and automatically set up for another 30 second. You just have to think of the stretching or anything else without thinking about checking time or counting in your head.
I've found some apps that does this, like "Simple Interval Timer" and "Seconds".
Both of them seems to be great apps. However, each time I do the stretching, it record the time spent as a workout in the green workout ring.
And that suck, because I don't want it to be a workout, it is not. When my day is over and I head to the gym to fill my green ring, I want to have an estimate of "how much I moved" that day, not of how much I stretched.
Anyway, it seems that all the apps that offer this kind of functionality automatically register everything you do in it as a workout. So without doing anything I get 9 minutes of green ring workout just by stretching my calves.
I feel that there should be a way to have a "dumb interval timer". A Timer that doesn't care about what you are doing, just a timer that tell you when time is up.
So, anyone know about such an app ? Or a search term that could let me find something else than workout app build for "High Intensity Interval Training" ?
(ps : I've tried simply disabling the privacy permission for the different apps, preventing them from accessing health data. It appears that they indeed can't "save" a workout, but the green ring still get updated)
