A new electronic fitness trainer has been designed to motivate people to exercise.

The electronic fitness assistant consists of a sensor suit that collects information about its wearer's movements and transmits current measurement results to a TV, computer or smartphone.
During exercises, a T-shirt monitors the wearer's breathing. The smartphone provides a user interface, analyses the collected data, gives the user feedback on the success of his or her training and can instruct the user on gymnastics or rehabilitation exercises.
Plus it is all individually tailored to the needs and demands of the individual wearer.
First, a trainer or physical therapist creates a personal training plan on the electronic fitness assistant.
Under his or her supervision, all of the exercises are recorded once to ensure that they perfectly match the user's own performance levels. Then, the exercises can be repeated in the home environment.n 'avatar', a digital trainer, performs the exercises in real time - on TV, for instance.
