Athletes are partaking in at-home exercises more than ever and thus changing the way they work out on a regular basis, so the conceptual 'Technofit' exercise mat has been designed as a way to accommodate for this.
Designed by Salvo Lo Cascio as a concept study for Nike, the mat has a connected design that is equipped with a display in the tubular main body that will let users partake in preset workouts or keep an eye on their performance. This will eliminate the need to follow along on their smartphone or computer for a more intuitive user experience.
The conceptual 'Technofit' exercise mat features a detachable carrying strap that will function as a skipping rope to further enhance workouts when at home or out of the house.
