How to use the online timer
Start a one-hundred-second countdown, then leave the phone nearby while you change shoes, loosen your shoulders, and get ready for a waterfront warm-up before sunrise. The interval is long enough for a brief sequence of arm circles, ankle rolls, and gentle marching without turning preparation into the main activity. By the time the signal sounds, you can be ready to head outside.
As you move around the room gathering a water bottle, cap, or keys, the phone may no longer be beside you. Air conditioning, conversation, running water, or traffic filtering in from outside can mask a quiet alert. Keeping the device within hearing distance and away from soft furnishings gives the ending a clearer chance of being noticed while your attention is elsewhere.
When your warm-up carries you towards the door or balcony, use the final part for one simple movement rather than squeezing in another sequence. If surrounding noise makes the ending uncertain, glance at the screen as you collect the last item you need. Finishing early leaves a calm pause before going out; finishing slightly late is a cue to stop where you are instead of rushing through the remaining motions.
Common questions
What if I finish my pre-sunrise waterfront warm-up before the set interval ends?
Use the remaining moments to stand comfortably, check that you have what you need, and listen for the signal. There is no need to add a new movement merely to fill the interval.
What if background noise covers the signal while my waterfront warm-up runs longer than planned?
Keep the screen somewhere visible as you move and stop the sequence when you notice the countdown has ended. For a noisier morning, staying in the same room as the device makes the short interval easier to follow.
