90 Second Timer

Ninety seconds — a minute and a half — is one of the most useful short lengths there is. It is a common microwave setting, a board-game turn, the time to let something steep or cool, and the standard rest between heavy sets at the gym. Whatever the task, 1:30 tends to be the right amount of not-too-short, not-too-long.

Counting rounds rather than one-offs, the math is tidy: eight rounds of ninety seconds is a twelve-minute block. Open the editor and set how many rounds to run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 90 second timer the same as 1.5 minutes?
Yes — ninety seconds is one and a half minutes, or 1:30 on the clock. This page covers all three phrasings; the timer is the same.
Why is 90 seconds a common rest between sets?
For heavy, low-rep lifting it is long enough to recover the strength you need for the next set without going cold. To rest ninety seconds between sets through a whole session, run the full-body strength circuit.
