Netflix unveils DIY 'personal trainer' that pauses your show when you stop moving

Netflix has unveiled instructions for a fitness tracker that can connect to users' Netflix accounts, according to Quartz.

Netflix aficionados can make the fitness device at home; however, it requires tech skills to assemble, including knowing how to work a printed circuit board.

Once assembled, the device connects to a user's phone or tablet via Bluetooth. Users can then work out with the device while watching Netflix.

If a user falls below his or her preselected level of intensity, the device will pause Netflix and play an inspirational message from a Netflix character — or "personal trainer" — of the user's choosing. If a user completely stops moving, the Netflix show will also pause until movement commences.
