Exercise machine monitoring and instruction system
First Claim
1. An exercise machine monitoring and instruction system, comprising:
- an exercise machine having a movable element that moves between a first position and a second position in a reciprocating manner;
a sensor that continuously detects a position of the movable element between the first position and the second position, wherein the sensor transmits real-time position data proportional to the position of the movable element;
a processor in communication with the sensor to receive position data from the sensor related to a position of the movable element, wherein the processor is adapted to calculate a state of the movable element based on the position data received in real-time; and
a feedback device in communication with the processor, wherein the processor controls the feedback device to provide real-time instruction to an exerciser on the exercise machine on how to adjust their workout.

Abstract
An exercise machine monitoring and instruction system for the movement of an element of an exercise machine by an exerciser and providing automated feedback to the exerciser to help improve the exercise in real-time. The exercise machine monitoring and instruction system generally includes an exercise machine having a movable element that moves between a first position and a second position in a reciprocating manner, a sensor that detects a real-time position of the movable element, a processor in communication with the sensor to receive the real-time position data from the sensor related to a position of the movable element and a feedback device in communication with the processor that provides real-time instructions to the exerciser on how to adjust their workout to achieve a desired result.
