Kudos to this new technology enabled fashion shirt that will free all of the gym rats from bragging about the gym not going in tandem with numbers on a treadmill. Simone Schramm, a German designer, has designed a garment that reacts to a wearer’s heart rate by expanding or contracting the wires woven into the garment’s fabric.

This Shape-Changing Shirt will display how your workout is going. Named “the muscle shirt,” the multilayered wearable changes color by pulling itself taut in response to the wearer’s heart rate, revealing the second layer below. The resulting tightness is meant to aid the wearer’s form and posture automatically

The mechanism goes like this: As the heart rate increases, the motor tightens the garment, revealing an interior fabric that’s color-coded to display the upper body’s muscle groups. Once the heart rate begins to fall, the tension relaxes, and the shirt’s original gray exterior fabric resumes its shape. Created within the last year, this tech enabled fashion  garment is a work in progress, but a step forward for fitness wearables.
