Traditional Redesign: Magnet Hangers

068/365

I run into this problem where I never have a place to store my gym clothes so they can dry. (yes, I wear my gym clothes a few times before I wash them.. like when the stink get too stinky.)

I've designed a wire frame attached to a magnet that could be fixed to a coat tree type stand or the inside of a gym locker.

The shirt and shorts design hold the cloth so it do not bunch and can dry faster.

Light, magnetic and cheap. The way I like it.

Grunting in the Gym is Useful

005/365

There are many fitness apps for the iPhone but I use none of them. The reason is, I don't want to play with my iPhone while I'm at the gym, with the exception of occasionally looking for a particular song to play. This renders apps that allow you to track sets and reps for your workouts useless to me. I'm sure there are many people who feel the same way.

What if there was an app that could count your reps automatically. It could do this in a number of ways such as listening to your breathing, hearing for your grunts or possibly listening for the rep count under your breath "one, two, ..."

This idea isn't entirely hashed out but these fitness apps do need to automatically track you somehow in order for them to be widely used.

PS. Take a look at Fitbit or BodyBugg. These are cardio-oriented body-tracking systems that are on the right track.
