Abstract
An exercise tracker includes a force sensor programmed to output a force signal representing a force applied to a cable associated with a piece of exercise equipment. The exercise tracker further includes a processing device programmed to receive the force signal and determine, from the force signal, exercise data including an amount of weight lifted.
Claims20
An exercise tracker comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of protrusions, extending from the base, for contacting a cable associated with a piece of exercise equipment having a variable weight stack and a pulley for receiving the cable, wherein the plurality of protrusions are configured to attach the base to the cable between the pulley and the variable weight stack, wherein a location of one of the plurality of protrusions is adjustable via a positioning screw, and wherein the base moves in accordance with movement of the cable;
- a force sensor programmed to output a force signal representing a force applied to the cable;
- and
- a processor programmed to receive the force signal and determine, from the force signal, exercise data including an amount of weight lifted.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a remote device;
- and
- an exercise tracker, fixed to a cable of a piece of exercise equipment, and programmed to determine an amount of weight lifted and a number of repetitions performed in accordance with a deflection by the cable of one of a plurality of protrusions of the exercise tracker, wherein a location of the one of the plurality of protrusions is adjustable via a positioning screw,
- wherein the piece of exercise equipment further includes a variable weight stack and a pulley for receiving the cable and wherein the exercise tracker is configured to attach to the cable between the pulley and the variable weight stack,
- wherein the exercise tracker is programmed to wirelessly transmit the amount of weight lifted and the number of repetitions performed to the remote device, and
- wherein the exercise tracker moves in accordance with movement of the cable.
3 more elements
An exercise system comprising:
- exercise equipment having a variable weight stack, a pulley, and a cable attached to the variable weight stack and passed through the pulley;
- and
- an exercise tracker attached to the cable, the exercise tracker having:
- a base;
- a plurality of protrusions extending from the base, wherein a location of one of the plurality of protrusions is adjustable via a positioning screw, and wherein the exercise tracker is configured to move vertically in accordance with movement of the cable;
- a force sensor programmed to output a force signal representing a force applied to the cable;
- and
- a processor programmed to receive the force signal and determine, from the force signal, exercise data including an amount of weight lifted.
