Due to the amount of work a student has for school or the organizations they are part of it sometimes leads them to not be able to have enough time or energy to workout throughout the week. It also leads them to be very stressed.
Product:
There are multiple possible solutions for this opportunity, like an app helping the student manage their time. But I am thinking about the library offering a service and a product to the students. This service will provide the student to be able to do some studying while working out on a bike or a treadmill. The point of this is maybe not to get a six-pack by the end of the week but to fit physical activities into the student's busy schedule. This machine will tell you the number of calories you burned in that session. You also have the option of either just placing your own book on the platform or you can use the touchscreen provided and use it to study note cards on Quizlet. This machine will be able to connect to online services. It is like a tablet on the machine.
Hi Claudia!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a fabulous solution to the problem of students not getting enough exercise. I personally have never studied on a treadmill before, but I can picture myself being smart with my time and knocking out two tasks at once. I believe that if we were to be able to get something like this going on campus, then a lot more students will be able to fit in their 30 minutes of daily exercise. We forget that exercise is essential for our well-being and a lot of us put it off for "more important" tasks. We need to remember that this is the only body we get and that we need to take care of it!
Nice job.
