Abstract
An example exercise tracker includes a grip for receiving an adjustable amount of exercise resistance, a force sensor having one or more strain gauges programmed to output a force signal representing a force applied to the grip, and a motion sensor programmed to detect movement of the grip and output a motion signal. The exercise tracker further includes a processor programmed to receive the force signal and the motion signal and determine, from the force signal and the motion signal, exercise data including the amount of resistance applied to the grip.
Claims20
An exercise tracker comprising:
- a grip for receiving an adjustable amount of exercise resistance;
- a force sensor having one or more strain gauges programmed to output a force signal representing a force applied to the grip;
- a motion sensor programmed to detect movement of the grip and output a motion signal;
- and
- a processor programmed to receive the force signal and the motion signal and determine, from the force signal and the motion signal, exercise data including the amount of resistance applied to the grip.
An exercise tracker comprising:
- a grip for receiving an adjustable amount of exercise resistance;
- at least one sleeve for receiving a user-defined amount weight serving as a source of the exercise resistance;
- a force sensor between at least one of the sleeves and the grip and having of one or more strain gauges programmed to output a force signal representing the resistance applied to the grip;
- and
- a processor programmed to receive the force signal and determine, from the force signal, exercise data including the amount of resistance applied to the grip.
