RESISTANCE COACH FINAL MAJOR DESIGN PROJECT

The main focus of this project is to introduce a new way people can work out at home using resistance bands. Resistance bands is one of the most convenient exercise equipment out there in the market today. So by re-developing the process of using this equipment, it will make the user experience a lot better. These issues are situated in both the product itself and the users interaction. So it is important to also look at the process of using the product.

This project presents the design process and ideas of the product, which all acted as the foundation of the finished product. 

Prototyping and testing was also done to ensure every ideas do actually work and function the way it should. This is the most vital part of developing this idea, as it was able to troubleshoot the problems at an early stage, which helped the progression of the project.

The key function is to keep user in track with their workouts. This is done by recommending the user a certain number of reps and sets. Along with this the product will also guide the user throughout the workout; recommending the appropriate bands to use depending on the users fitness level. This will be indicated by using a colour coding system. This product will provide a clearer progress to the user as it can also connect to a mobile device through an app. In the app the user can see the different exercises they can perform using the product. The app will also present the users progress by showing previous workouts and tell the user if they are doing good or bad.
The door strap idea was created to change the way resistance bands are attached on the door. Currently, the process of attaching the bands on the door proved to cause some inconvenience to the user. 

Also, by incorporating the door strap, it will provide a more versatile way of using the product. It will allow the user to change the position of the device; which will allow the user to perform more exercises.
