Jason Kirby (Carpediemcat) Well I’m a Criminal Justice major on the 5 year plan, looking to sneak my way into the fitness field. I’ve taken an avid, slightly obsessive interest in exercise. This is not limited to just lifting weights, while that may be good for some people I like to follow in the footsteps of the folks at CrossFit and Ross Enamait. I am really really hoping to get my Personal Trainer certification from NCSF in the middle of May (at the cusp of graduation) and get into CrossFit.

The Gymboss is a superb interval timer. As Jim noted:

'20 seconds never felt so long, 10 seconds never so short, and four minutes never so painful.'

Love it.
