Background
Stretching is crucial,
but ‘boring and unrewarding’.

No immediate reward
A lot of people today experience a painful back or neck due to bad posture, and we all understand that stretching regularly is essential for good posture. However, many people usually had difficulty finding stimulation to stretch on a daily basis. Although the current process of stretching can be quite demanding in time and preparation, it doesn't give an instant reward or joy like other exercises.
To motivate stretching, there must be an added sense of achievement and entertainment that people can feel right away.

Touchpoints on mat
like arcade games
The LED screen easily guides the placement of hands and feet with touchpoints, and also shows simple indications to help the game such as the remaining time and earned points.
Located on the edges of the bar, the speakers and lights allow the users to have even more fun and interactive experience.
The music and audible feedback allow accurate posture correction, while also making it joyful.
Experience
expanded
beyond the mat
The handles are separable from the bar, in an easy-grip size, emitting different colors of light when enjoying the game. With the handles, the whole experience is pushed even further as an enjoyable game, by allowing more dynamic posture checking.
The handles enable even more various stretching poses during the game, by using stretching bands stored inside, and giving feedback through haptic and audible reactions.
App for more inspiration
To enhance the whole game experience, the app provides a list of routines, music, and a guide for stretching, as well as the rewards and personal missions to keep the users motivated. The overall design continues to convey the fun and energetic mood of the product.
