Abstract
A treadmill includes a frame, an exercise deck attached to the frame, and a first handle movably attached to the frame. The first handle has a first orientation where the first handle is positioned within a region above the exercise deck and stabilized to support a user's weight during a body weight exercise, and a second orientation where the first handle is positioned away from the region above the exercise deck.
Claims20
A treadmill, comprising:
- a frame;
- an exercise deck attached to the frame;
- a console supported by the frame;
- and
- a body-weight handle connected to the frame;
- a sensor configured to measure at least one parameter of an exercise performed using the body-weight handle;
- and
- a processor and memory, the memory including programmed instructions which, when accessed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- determine a calorie count per exercise based on the at least one parameter of the exercise;
- determine a number of repetitions of the exercise;
- and
- based on the number of repetitions and the at least one parameter, determine a body weight calorie burn.
9 more elements
A method for analyzing exercise, comprising:
- performing an exercise deck exercise on an exercise deck of a treadmill;
- determining an exercise deck calorie burn based on performing the exercise deck exercise;
- performing a body weight exercise using a handle connected to a frame of the treadmill;
- measuring at least one parameter of the body weight exercise with a sensor on the handle;
- determining a calorie count per exercise using the at least one parameter;
- determining a number of repetitions of the body weight exercise performed using the sensor;
- determining a the calorie count based on the number of repetitions and the calorie count per exercise;
- and
- determining a workout calorie burn based on the exercise deck calorie burn and the body weight calorie burn.
6 more elements
A system for tracking exercise, comprising:
- a frame;
- an exercise deck attached to the frame;
- a console supported by the frame;
- and
- a first handle connected to the frame;
- a second handle connected to the frame;
- a first sensor configured to measure a first parameter of a first body weight exercise performed using the first handle;
- a second sensor configured to measure a second parameter of a second body weight exercise performed using the second handle;
- and
- a processor and memory, the memory including programmed instructions which, when accessed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- determine a first calorie count per exercise based on the first parameter;
- determine a second calorie count per exercise based on the second parameter;
- determine a first number of repetitions of the first exercise;
- determine a second number of repetitions of the second exercise;
- based on the first number of repetitions and the first parameter, determine a first body weight calorie burn;
- based on the second number of repetitions and the second parameter, determine a second body weight calorie burn;
- determine an exercise deck calorie burn;
- and
- display the first body weight calorie burn, the second body weight calorie burn, and the exercise deck calorie burn on the console.
