About Shape Care Kifaa cha Mazoezi Chenye Matumizi Mengi

Shape Care ni kifaa kinachoweza kukidhi mahitaji ya mazoezi ya wanaofanya mazoezi nyumbani. Timu ya usanifu iligundua kuwa watumiaji wengi huzingatia mafunzo ya mikono, miguu, tumbo na kifua. Baada ya kuchunguza umbo na kanuni ya kifaa cha mazoezi, timu ya usanifu iliamua miundo mitatu, ambayo inaweza kutumika kama bari na watumiaji katika hali yake ya awali. Kwa kuikunjua, inafanya mazoezi ya kifua na miguu ya mtumiaji. Inapotengwa kuwa vipande vya pekee, kila kipande kinaweza kutumika kama damubeli kufanya mazoezi ya mkono, na kinapowekwa pamoja tena kinaweza kutumika kama gurudumu la misuli ya tumbo kufanya mazoezi ya misuli za tumbo.

Unique Properties
This is a fitness equipment that can meet the various fitness needs of home exercisers. It has three assembly forms, the user can use the original Shape Care as a barbell to do chest push exercise, by bending it can exercise the user's chest and legs. When disassembled into monomers, each monomer can be used as a dumbbell to exercise the arm, and when reassembled it can be used as an abdominal muscle wheel to exercise the abdominal muscles.
Dimensions & Packaging
Width 535mm x Depth 45mm x Height 195mm

Production Technology
The main body of the round tube is cast by high quality iron, the surface of the tube is electroplated with baking paint technology. The part held by the hand is covered with rubber.
Design Challenge
The challenge of this design is the transformation of different forms, and the different combinations of forms must ensure the integrity of the shape. We studied the shape and principle of the existing fitness equipment and found that only the abdominal muscle wheel has a specific shape requirement. Therefore, based on the shape of the abdominal muscle wheel, we disassembled and reassembled the shape, and finally determined three forms to meet the user's real exercise needs of the hand, legs, abdomen, chest and other parts.
Research
We conducted interviews with users and observed their behaviors and concluded that users' home fitness is mainly based on hands, legs, abdomen and chest, so they will buy more fitness equipment and occupy more space. Therefore, we disassembled the existing fitness equipment and studied the shape and principle to achieve the purpose of integrating different equipment.In addition, we made a model and optimized the shape.
Inspiration
Due to the uncertainty of time, many people choose to exercise at home and buy more fitness equipment. Therefore, we want to design an integrated fitness machine for home exercisers to achieve the purpose of exercising more muscles. Shape Care is inspired by a multi-purpose, it has 3 assembly modes. They are used to exercise the abdomen, arms, legs and chest.
Project Duration
The project was launched in Beijing in January 2023 and completed in Beijing in March 2023.
Operation Flow
Shape Care in its original state only needs to bend to exercise the chest. Without bending, it can be used as a barbell to push the chest. When the Shape Care is disassembled into units, each unit can be used as a dumbbell to exercise the arm. When one of the units is rotated 45 degrees and reassembled, it can be used as an ab wheel to exercise the abdominal muscles.
