While many use wristband fitness trackers and their smartphones to monitor their health, this smart fitness apparel is a new way to measure your goals. Indian startup Sygnal describes its product as "the world's first smart fitness t-shirt with navigation."
The tee is capable of counting how many stairs you've climbed, counting your steps, showing how many calories you've burned as well as the distance you've walked or ran. In addition to syncing with a free smartphone app, the fitness apparel also includes smart GPS navigation for long runs, trying out new gyms and the directionally challenged. This will not only help you improve your physical health, but also change how people think about personal navigation and personal safety.
