Project

Due to the current measures related to Covid-19, we are stuck at home. The gyms are closed and people who are in rehabilitation cannot go to the physiotherapist. It is difficult to exercise at home because many people are limited in sports materials. Sports materials are often expensive to purchase and the exercises you can do with them are often monotonous.

I want to show that it is possible to make your own workout material with the stuff you have at home and what you can get from your local supermarket, which is cheaper. I want to do this by means of a gelatin based balance cushion in a way that everyone can make it themselves. With a balance cushion it is possible to do exercises that train muscles throughout your body.

Due to the different material properties that gelatin entails in the process that it hardens, the user can maintain a sports schedule. This starts with soft where the focus is on strength and balance, after which it hardens and the user can focus on stamina.
