Homebody is a home workout guidance system to ensure proper postures. The product consists of a pressure sensitive mat, a pressure sensitive wearable piece, and a pairing software providing responsive graphics. In current home workout settings, vague instructions are provided, but there is no immediate feedback on whether or not the person is doing it correctly. Users are the only ones keeping themselves accountable. That doesn't necessarily lead to a quality workout and may even cause injuries. The Homebody Mat assesses users' overall form through pressure sensors which are evenly embedded inside. The Homebody Waist wearable detects whether the spine is maintaining a neutral position, which is crucial to almost all exercises. The software provides personalized workout routines and improve your form with the guidance of your virtual trainer, using color and intuitive graphic, as well as voice and audio feedback to best assist all workout scenarios- standing, laid down, or facing side ways.
