Week 8

Does your sweat taste salty? sweet? Are your muscles fatigued?

New wearable fitness technology will soon be able to tell you these things by drinking...YES, drinking your sweat! YUMMY!

I haven't bought into this new fitness craze where everyone is obsessed with counting their steps and monitoring their temperature.  I believe in good old fashioned working out and I don't need a watch or my cell phone to tell me how good of a workout I've done.

However, this new prototype device created by a UC Berkeley Professor has sparked my interest by chemically analyzing sweat and sending the information live to your smartphone.  I am especially intrigued by the ability of this device to monitor glucose in the sweat.
