The most stripped down explanation of the law is that when a current is induced in a conductor, a magnetic field is generated that opposes the action that produces the current.

You would die. Magnetic fields follow the inverse square law, so you'd need really strong magnets to induce a sufficient current. What would end up happening is that the positive poles of the magnets on your chest would attract the negative poles of the magnets on your back, and you would be crushed spectacularly.
