Hi everyone – time for a little gift giving here at Angry Trainer Fitness!

At the start of the week we launched a contest to win THREE Gym Boss Interval Timers! – and now it’s time to announce the results.

Here’s a refresher on how the contest worked. A few days ago I published a workout I performed using a Gym Boss to keep track on my times. In order to win one of the first three timers we’re giving away, all you had to do was guess the total time that my workout took. Sounds easy – but it really wasn’t!

Here’s the circuit with the interval and rest times added in:

Alfonso’s Gym Boss Workout

CIRCUIT #1

1. Pushup w/ Alternating Knees 45 seconds on / 15 seconds rest

2. Jumping Jacks 45 seconds on / 15 seconds rest

3. One Legged Deadlifts 45 seconds on / 15 seconds rest

4. Jump Squats 45 seconds on / 15 seconds rest

Rest 45 seconds

Repeat 1 more time

Rest 60 seconds

CIRCUIT #2

5. Resistance Band Rows 45 seconds on / 15 seconds rest

6. TRX Chest Press 45 seconds on / 15 seconds rest

7. Burpee Jump Squats 45 seconds on / 15 seconds rest

8. V-Ups 45 seconds on / 15 seconds rest

Rest 45 seconds

Repeat 1 more time

Done!

Total Time = 18 minutes 30 seconds

As you can see I kept this one pretty simple – performing the exercises to a set time – rather than timing a set number of reps. I wanted to give those of you who closely follow my workouts a fighting chance of guessing the total duration!

The three people who guessed the closest to my time are:

1. Yap 18:30 Nailed It!

2. Kerri Boozer 18:40 – So close!

3. Amy 18:00 – Great guess

4. Kim S 19.00 – Just over!

Yep, as you can see we had two clear winners and a tie for third place – so what we’re going to do is give away FOUR Gym Boss Timers – one to each of our winners! I’m a regular old Santa today!

Congratulations to the four of you and we’ll be in touch real soon to arrange your prizes. But for those of you that didn’t win, don’t worry – you have 6 more chances to win!

Here’s the deal – From December 26th – 31st, I’ll post an exercise I’ve performed that day on the Angry Trainer Facebook Wall   In order to enter, you have to again guess how long each exercise took (so you’ll need to ‘like’ my page first) – closest entry wins and if there’s a tie we’ll select the winner randomly.

This time around you should leave your guesses on my Facebook wall – NOT here on the site! The closing date is at midnight each day – and we’ll announce the result the next day. Got it? So to be clear, you can’t enter on the Angry Trainer Fitness website, only Facebook. (You may recall I was going to give away a timer via Twitter but since we’ve awarded an extra one this time around I’ll keep the rest of the contest on Facebook!)

Okay everyone – keep checking my Facebook page – and good luck!
