Exercise machine boxing enhancement
An exercise device comprises a motor, a boxing accessory, and a cable coupled between the boxing accessory and the motor. In one embodiment, a sensor is configured to determine telemetry data associated with at least one of the motor or the cable, wherein the telemetry data comprises at least one of the following: cable acceleration, cable velocity, and cable position. In one embodiment, an arm is coupled to the cable and the arm is configured to position the cable.

a motor;
a boxing accessory;
a cable coupled between the boxing accessory and the motor;
an arm coupled to the cable, wherein the arm is configured to position the cable;
a second motor;
a second cable coupled between the boxing accessory and the second motor; and
a second arm coupled to the second cable and wherein the second arm is configured to position the second cable.
2. The exercise device of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to determine telemetry data associated with at least one of the motor or the cable.
3. The exercise device of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to determine telemetry data associated with at least one of the motor or the cable, wherein the telemetry data comprises at least one of the following: cable acceleration, cable velocity, and cable position.
4. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the boxing accessory is mounted by the arm using a quick release locking mechanism.
5. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the boxing accessory is mounted between the arm and a floor mount.
6. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the arm is adjustable such that the boxing accessory's height is adjustable.
7. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the boxing accessory is mounted between the arm and the second arm, and wherein the boxing accessory is a double-ended bag, and wherein the motor is configured to adjust tension for the double-ended bag.
8. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the boxing accessory is mounted by both the arm and the second arm, wherein the boxing accessory is a heavy bag, and wherein the motor is configured to hold the heavy bag up.
9. The exercise device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a sensor configured to determine telemetry data associated with at least one of the motor or the cable; and
a processor configured to determine user performance with respect to the boxing accessory based on the telemetry data.
10. The exercise device of claim 9 , wherein the sensor comprises a motor encoder, wherein the motor encoder determines cable position, velocity, or acceleration.
11. The exercise device of claim 9 , wherein the user performance comprises at least one of the following: cable position change, cable velocity change, cable acceleration change, a swinging indicator, an acceleration profile, an expected bag acceleration, a punch repetition count, a count of landed punches, a count of partial hits, a count of direct hits, a count of misses, a count of swings, a count of initial swings, a count of second swings, a count of third swings, a count of harder punches, and a count of bag swings.
12. The exercise device of claim 9 , wherein determining the user performance comprises collecting sensor measurements for a motor encoder or a cable encoder.
13. The exercise device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to provide a curriculum, wherein the curriculum comprises circuit training, and wherein providing the curriculum comprises at least one of the following: centralized storing of performance data pertaining to multiple exercises in circuit; repetition-based boxing exercise interleaved with repetition-based strength training; and speed training comprising a positioning arm associated with a boxing exercise and a second positioning arm associated with another exercise.
14. The exercise device of claim 9 , further comprising a camera coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is further configured to provide a form feedback, and wherein: a user is fixed in frame, and a user is fixed in position.
15. The exercise device of claim 9 , further comprising a camera coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is further configured to provide a sensor fusion, and wherein: the sensor fusion comprises fusion between the telemetry data and camera data; a phase is determined at least in part using the camera; a recoil phase is determined at least in part using the camera; the camera is used at least in part to detect when a first punch lands; and the camera is used at least in part to count repetitions.
16. The exercise device of claim 9 , further comprising a camera coupled to the processor, wherein the boxing accessory comprises a marker visible to the camera.
17. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the motor and the second motor are configured to move the boxing accessory up and down as a moving target.
