A few ideas for 16 minutes

Four Tabata rounds back to back. One Tabata is eight rounds of 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest, which is 4 minutes. Four of them make 16 minutes. If you want guided rounds, the Tabata timer runs up to four sets and beeps on every change.

A quick cleanup. Kitchen after dinner, a messy desk, or folding a load of laundry.

Group work in class. A bit longer than a typical 15 minute slot, which gives students one extra minute to wrap up.

Getting out the door. Start it when you begin getting ready and you'll know when it's time to leave.

  • Pause anytime and resume from the same point.
