A NEW BEGINNING
The FitVest® is a non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) product that monitors,
optimizes, and gamifies daily life.
The Problem• Most people are naturally lazy and extremely busy• 70% of Americans are
overweight or obese• People need a low-
commitment means of exercising that actually
works!
FITVEST is the Ultimate Solution
• Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT)
– Imagine working out and not having to do anything intense or painful
– But really it works:
• Weight-bearing endurance exercise not only burns fat but it strengthens the heart, muscles, brain, bone density, increases concentration, and slows the ageing process
• Frequent hypergravity conditioning, postural adjustment, and “fidgeting” burns calories long-term… whether you know it or not
• AND NOW… we are also able to monitor, optimize and gamify the casual experience of daily living
Core Concepts Contoured Modularity Load-Carriage Hypergravity Conditioning (Endurance Resistance Training) Self-Quantification Electrical Muscle Stimulation Interoperability Real-time Biofeedback Mindfulness (Concentration)
