Motivating people to become physically active through the use of the heartrate monitoring fitness ring and the "Building Me" fitness affirmation app.

About

My final product is a product that motivates people’s fitness journeys without them focusing on the data of their progress. This is done through words of affirmation. Although my product disregards the fitness statistics like step counting, the number of calories burnt, run durations, and other things; it still allows the user to check their progress whilst being physically active. I have chosen to take out those fitness progress tracking techniques because it can discourage the user if they are not seeing rapid results. When the user goes for a run, they will be required to wear the ring provided, the ring has a heartrate monitor implanted it, which changes colour depending on their current aerobic zone of the user. This will give the user a present insight of their working progress. They are also provided with running audio options via their ‘building me’ app which allows them to continue to be motivated whilst running.
