Strength exercise mechanisms
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.
1. A treadmill, comprising:
a frame;
an exercise deck attached to the frame;
a console supported by the frame; and
a first handle movably attached to the frame, the first handle configured to support a body weight of a user during a body weight exercise;
a repetition sensor to count a number of times that the user performs the body weight exercise; and
a processor and memory, the memory including programmed instructions which, when accessed by the processor, cause the processor to:
calculate an exercise deck calorie burn value based on a performance of an exercise with the exercise deck;
calculate a body weight calorie burn value based on an input from the repetition sensor;
add the exercise deck calorie burn value to the body weight calorie burn value to generate a workout calorie burn value; and
present the workout calorie burn value in a display.
2. The treadmill of claim 1 , further comprising a second handle movably attached to the frame spaced an adjustable distance away from the first handle.
3. The treadmill of claim 2 , wherein the first handle and the second handle are spaced approximately a human body width apart in a first orientation.
4. The treadmill of claim 3 , wherein the body weight exercise comprises a dipping exercise.
5. The treadmill of claim 2 , wherein the second handle moves laterally with respect to the frame.
6. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the first handle is pivotally attached to the frame.
7. The treadmill of claim 1 , further comprising a weight sensor to generate a weight value of the user applying their body weight to the first handle.
8. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the display presents the repetition count of the body weight exercise.
9. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the display presents the body weight exercise calorie burn value based on the performance of the body weight exercise.
10. The treadmill of claim 1 , further comprising a tread belt incorporated into the exercise deck wherein the first handle is moved from a first orientation into a second orientation, different from the first orientation, during the performance of the exercise with the exercise deck.
11. The treadmill of claim 1 , further comprising a push-up bar attached to the frame.
12. The treadmill of claim 1 , further comprising a push-up bar attached to the exercise deck.
13. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the repetition sensor includes one or more of a pressure gauge or a strain gauge.
14. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the programmed instructions which, when accessed by the processor, further cause the processor to: analyze varying weight loads applied to the first handle during performance of the body weight exercise.
15. A treadmill, comprising:
a frame;
an exercise deck attached to the frame;
a first handle movably attached to the frame, the first handle configured to support a body weight of a user during a body weight exercise;
a second handle movably attached to the frame and spaced a first distance from the first handle, the second handle configured to support the body weight of the user during the body weight exercise;
a repetition sensor to count a number of times that the user performs the body weight exercise; and
a processor and memory, the memory including programmed instructions which, when accessed by the processor, cause the processor to:
calculate an exercise deck calorie burn value based on a performance of an exercise with the exercise deck;
calculate a body weight calorie burn value based on an input from the repetition sensor;
add the exercise deck calorie burn value to the body weight calorie burn value to generate a workout calorie burn value; and
present the workout calorie burn value in a display.
16. The treadmill of claim 15 , wherein the first handle and the second handle are aligned with a length of the exercise deck in a first orientation, and the first handle and the second handle are transverse to the length of the exercise deck in a second orientation.
17. The treadmill of claim 15 , wherein at least one of the first handle and the second handle is rotatably attached to the frame.
18. The treadmill of claim 15 , wherein the display presents the repetition count of the body weight exercise based on information gathered from the repetition sensor.
19. A treadmill, comprising:
a frame including a first post and a second post connected to the frame;
a console supported by the first post and the second post;
an exercise deck attached to the frame;
a first handle movably attached proximate to the first post, the first handle configured to support a body weight of a user during a body weight exercise;
a second handle movably attached proximate to second post and spaced a first distance from the first handle, the second handle configured to support the body weight of the user during the body weight exercise;
a repetition sensor to count a number of times that the user performs the body weight exercise;
a display to present the repetition count of the body weight exercise based on information gathered from the repetition sensor; and
a processor and memory, the memory comprising programmed instructions which, when accessed by the processor, cause the processor to:
calculate an exercise deck calorie burn value based on an exercise deck exercise;
calculate a body weight calorie burn value based on the body weight exercise;
add the exercise deck calorie burn value to the body weight exercise calorie burn value to generate a workout calorie burn value; and
present the workout calorie burn value in the display.
