The SweetzPot Flow is an innovative fitness device that monitors users' breathing habits. While heart rate monitoring is important, many endurance athletes have noted the importance of measuring their [VO2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dexa-scans) max. Traditionally, athletes would have to have a lab track their VO2 performance, but the SweetzPot Flow is looking to change this with its new [wearable fitness tracker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airjump) that measures both heart rate and oxygen intake in one simple device.

The SweetzPot Flow comes in the form on a chest strap, which can be easily worn while completing any kind of physical activity. The Flow will then be able to track oxygen intake -- measured in liters per minute -- and can provide the information that will best help athletes understand their breathing rhythms and patterns. The SweetzPot Flow is currently seeking funding on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-workout-companion) and is expected to ship out in the third quarter of 2018.
