Modern citizens are under enormous pressure but often lack of exercise, which is one of the best methods to relieve stress. We chose exercise to blend in with bathing gear so that users can comfortably exercise while relaxing in the shower. While bathing, users can reach their goal of both releasing stress and working out via safe and easy extension exercises. Aimed towards users of all ages, universal usage of toiletries is one of the features of “batheXercise”. Making showering not only more comfortable and healthier but also extra convenient and fun.
Motive
Hectic schedules and lack of motivation are the top reasons why people skip their exercises.
The system is designed to give users a workout during a shower. And since a shower is the only time that allows most people to take their minds off work and chores, it provides them with the perfect way to get a workout in without feeling stressed.
After two bathing sponges are soaked with water and gained more weight, place them through the shower nozzle, it will become a dumbbell.
The combination of the shampoo and the shower gel dispenser can be used to stretch out hamstrings and the lower back.
The brush made of elastic net fabric can be used as a toning tube.
Shower nozzle can stretch longer, place it through the sponge, easier for elders and users who are not convenient bending down to brush their lower limbs.
Using the lever principle, the pushing button which indicates users’ flexibility level can be buckled on the bottle cap, makes cap opening easier.
The longer design of the brush is more effortless for users to brush their back.
The sponge with silicone bump can be used to massage the body.
