Abstract
The main goal of this work is to design tailored fitness devices that allow performing simultaneously home routine tasks and physical exercise, increasing the amount of physical activity in the daily routine. Physical therapists and design engineers have studied the most usual chores, as well as different types of training, to develop innovative and versatile solutions.
