Project 2 Repositioning of Lawn Mower

For this project I will be repositioning the machine that most men use to cut their grass: a lawnmower. It will now target women as not only a lawn mower but as an exercise machine. Here is a short brief:
Who: Targeted for women, generally single, who do not have a husband or bf or who's significant other mainly just does not want to mow the lawn.
What: Lawn mower that will also work as a workout.
How: It will have a heart rate meter as well as tell you how many calories you have burned and the distance. Women will be able to workout and burn some calories and mow the grass at the same time.
Why: Because some men do not want to mow the lawn or some women do not have men to do it for them and they have to do it themselves anyway. This will give them the opportunity to knock two things out at once. It might motivate women to mow the lawn more ofter or do it with joy because she will know that she is also getting in a good workout.

  1. Although I've never mow the grass, I can imagine it is not easy. Women should burn some calories when they mow the grass. I look forward to knowing more about your project.

  2. This is a good idea. Lawn mowers are really heavy so maybe try to focus on a lightweight lawnmower or one that is self-propelled.

  3. This is great. It made me laugh when I was first reading it, but that totally works. Women are always trying to find that next great new exercise product. I think you should market it towards married women too, their husbands would greatly appreciate it. Also would the actual mower be redesigned as well because they're kind of ugly nowadays.
