Squat Exercise System

A method of performing squat exercises being performed via a squat exercise system, the method comprising:

• selecting to preset a squat height on a display via a user input device, wherein a user squats at a desired squat height towards a sensing device, and then pushes the input user device to preset the squat height as desired, wherein the squat exercise system automatically saves the squat height preset by the user;
• selecting one type of squat exercise of different types of squat exercises to be performed;
• performing a squat and sensing via the sensing device activated by a body part of the user located at the squat height a signal indicative of completion of the squat performed;
• sending, via the sensing device, the signal to a processor/control unit for processing;
• and
• sending a notification signal via a notification unit indicating that the squat was successfully completed;
• and
• automatically counting and tracking, in real-time, via an onboard clock of the processor/control unit, a count of each successful squat completed and a total count thereof.

A squat exercise system comprising:

• a remote control system configured to control operations performed by the squat exercise system and comprising:
• a remote control unit for operating the squat exercise system, and
• a housing to be positioned on a flat surface, and comprising:
• a power supply unit for supplying power,
• a sensing device for sensing a body part of the user when within a predetermined distance from the housing and generating a signal,
• a processor/control unit configured to receive and process the signal generated by the sensing device in communication therewith, to automatically track, in real-time a count of each successful squat completed and a total count thereof, and
• a notification unit in communication with the processing/control unit to generate a notification signal indicative of successful completion of a squat.
