Abstract
An exercise apparatus, system, and method are provided herein, in which an exercise apparatus has a tracking mechanism comprising a gyroscope, processor and transmitter. The user may wear a sensor, for example, on his shoe. The gyroscope detects the position of the exercise apparatus with respect to the sensor, and thus detects the motions made by the user with the apparatus. A mobile device such as a cellular phone may have an application running thereon, which tracks these motions, and notify the user if the user's form is incorrect, and preferably provides an image of the proper form. The exercise apparatus may include wheels with which the exercise apparatus may be rolled.
Claims23
An exercise apparatus comprising:
- a rod having a rod end having a rod-end diameter;
- a tracking mechanism connected to said rod, said tracking mechanism comprising a gyroscope, a processor, a power source, and a transmitter which transmits data to a processing device;
- and
- a wheel having a wheel aperture having a wheel aperture diameter equal to or greater than said rod-end diameter, wherein said wheel receives said rod end within said wheel aperture.
An exercise apparatus comprising:
- a rod having a rod end having a rod-end diameter;
- and
- an end cap comprising a tracking mechanism, said tracking mechanism comprising a gyroscope, a processor, a power source, and a transmitter which transmits data to a processing device.
An end cap for an exercise apparatus, said end cap comprising:
- a housing having an connector for connecting to a rod;
- a gyroscope;
- a transmitter;
- a processor;
- and
- a power source.
A system for tracking movements during exercise, the system comprising:
- an exercise apparatus having a tracking device;
- a sensor device;
- and
- a processing device having a screen, said processing device calculating a first position of said sensor with regard to said tracking device, said processing device connected to a screen displaying a notification if said first position is outside of an acceptable area calculated by said processing device.
A method of exercising comprising:
- installing an application on a mobile processing device having a screen;
- entering a user profile into said application, said user profile including the user's height;
- attaching a sensor on a user;
- attaching a tracking mechanism on an exercise apparatus, said tracking mechanism having a gyroscope, a processor, and a transmitter;
- calculating a calculated motion via said application based on said user profile, said calculated motion having an accepted deviation;
- moving said exercise apparatus creating an action motion;
- generating an action motion data and transmitting said action motion data to said mobile processing device;
- tracking said action motion on said mobile processing device via said application;
- receiving a notification via said mobile processing device if said action motion deviates from accepted deviation.
