1. A system, comprising:

  • a) an exercise device that provides a resistive force to a user; and

    b) a force measuring system for measuring said resistive force, said force measuring system including;

    i) a generally trangular-shaped force-carrying element comprising;

    A) a first leg and a second leg that generally converge with one another to form a crotch having a center, each of said first and second legs having a distal end spaced from said crotch; and

    B) a third leg extending between said distal ends of said first and second legs to keep said distal ends spaced from one another; and

    ii) a sensor, operatively coupled to said first and second legs between said crotch and said third leg, for sensing a change in distance between said first and second legs when said resistive force is applied to said third leg along a line extending through said center of said crotch.
