1. A method of monitoring a user'"'"'s vital signs, the method comprising:
- generating a signal corresponding to the flow of blood through an artery of the user, the signal generated from an optical sensor connected to a body of a glove;
generating heart rate data of the user and an oxygen saturation level data of the user from the signal generated by the optical sensor;
processing the heart rate data and oxygen saturation level data of the user at a microcontroller disposed with the body of the glove for analysis of calories expended by the user and for display of a plurality of the user'"'"'s vital signs; and
displaying the calories expended by the user, the user'"'"'s heart rate or the user'"'"'s blood oxygen saturation level on a display member disposed on an exterior surface of the body of the glove which is controlled by the user using a control component extending from the body of the glove.
