Rest between sets

Where

Exercise editor, Rest section, Rest between sets. With Single-Side on, it’s called Rest between rounds.

Options

On or off. 0 to 5:00, in 5-second steps.

Default

Off for a new exercise, unless you turn it on in Default Exercise Settings. Turning it on uses the exercise’s last rest length, or 1:00.

In a workout

A rest timer runs after every set except the last. When it ends, timed and tempo sets start on their own; plain rep sets wait for you. With no rest timer, a stopwatch counts up from your last set instead.

Shows when

When the exercise has 2 or more sets, or is in a superset.

Good to know

• Before a timed or tempo set, the last few seconds of rest become that set’s countdown.
• Maximum Rest in Settings turns the stopwatch red once that much time has passed since your last set, and notifies you. It’s on at 3:00 by default.
