Circuit & HIIT
Timer-driven circuits, rounds, rest phases, and safe session handling.
Proof surface
What this feature looks like in the app
Structured timer flow
Circuit mode brings timing, rounds, and progress into the same record as the rest of the app.
What it is
A circuit and HIIT mode. HIIT means short bursts of hard work with short rest in between. Kinoku acts as your timer and logs every set at the same time.
How it works
- Pick exercises from your library.
- Set the work time, the rest time, and how many rounds.
- Tap start.
Kinoku moves through each exercise on its own. It plays a countdown sound and logs each round as a set. You don’t have to touch your phone while you train.
Rest-pause support
A rest-pause set adds a short break, then a few more reps at the same weight. The timer counts down 15 seconds. Then it asks if you want one more mini-set. Drop sets work the same way. Each one is saved in a single group.
Picks up where you left off
Your phone might die. Your screen might turn off. You might swipe Kinoku away by mistake. Your circuit is still there when you open the app again. The timer goes back to the same round. No rounds are lost.
Use cases
- HIIT: 30s work / 15s rest, 8 rounds
- CrossFit-style WODs: 21-15-9 with mixed exercises
- Cardio finishers: 5 rounds of burpees, KB swings, and jump rope
- Bodybuilding giant sets: same muscle, three exercises, no rest, four rounds
