How this timer works

A clear voice reads each step's cue as it begins; every cue is written out below. A soft tick marks every second. The last five seconds of every step are counted out loud. It calls out the time left as each exercise runs. A chime marks each change of step. It closes with “Great work! Workout complete!”
