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 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.
2. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a first sensor, the exercise is a first exercise, and the body-weight handle is a first body-weight handle, and further comprising a second sensor configured to measure a second parameter of a second exercise performed using a second body-weight handle, wherein the programmed instructions further cause the processor to determine whether a user is performing the first exercise or the second exercise.
3. The treadmill of claim 2 , wherein the calorie count per exercise is a first calorie count per exercise, the number of repetitions is a first number of repetitions, and the body weight calorie burn is a first body weight calorie burn, and wherein the programmed instructions further cause the processor to:
determine a second calorie count per exercise based on the second parameter of the second exercise;
determine a second number of repetitions of the second exercise; and
based on the second number of repetitions and the second parameter of the second exercise, determine a second body weight calorie burn.
4. The treadmill of claim 3 , wherein the programmed instructions further cause the processor to:
determine an exercise deck calorie burn; and
determine a workout calorie burn based on the exercise deck calorie burn, the first body weight calorie burn, and the second body weight calorie burn.
5. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the programmed instructions further cause the processor to determine an exercise deck calorie burn.
6. The treadmill of claim 5 , wherein the programmed instructions further cause the processor to determine a workout calorie burn value based on the exercise deck calorie burn and the body weight calorie burn.
7. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter of the exercise includes an angle of a user while performing the exercise.
8. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter of the exercise includes a speed of a user while performing the exercise.
9. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the exercise includes a dip.
10. The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the programmed instructions further cause the processor to alter the calorie count per exercise based on a change in the at least one parameter.
11. 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.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sensor is a first sensor, the body weight exercise is a first body weight exercise, and the handle is a first handle, and further comprising:
measuring a second parameter of a second body weight exercise performed using a second handle; and
determining whether a user is performing the first body weight exercise or the second body weight exercise.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the calorie count per exercise is a first calorie count per exercise, the number of repetitions is a first number of repetitions, the body weight calorie burn is a first body weight calorie burn, and further comprising:
determining a second calorie count per exercise based on the second parameter of the second body weight exercise;
determining a second number of repetitions of the second body weight exercise; and
based on the second number of repetitions and the second parameter of the second body weight exercise, determining a second body weight calorie burn.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein determining the workout calorie burn includes determining the workout calorie burn based on the exercise deck calorie burn, the first body weight calorie burn, and the second body weight calorie burn.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein measuring the at least one parameter of the body weight exercise includes measuring an angle of a user while performing the exercise.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein measuring the at least one parameter of the body weight exercise includes measuring a speed of a user while performing the exercise.
17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising altering the body weight calorie count per exercise based on a change in the at least one parameter.
18. 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.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the programmed instructions further cause the processor to determine a workout exercise calorie burn based on the first body weight calorie burn, the second body weight calorie burn, and the exercise deck calorie burn.
20. The system of claim 18 , wherein the first body weight exercise is a dip and the second body weight exercise is a push-up.
