1. An exercise monitoring apparatus comprising:
- a casing;
a fastening member coupled to the casing, the fastening member configured to attach the casing to an exercise equipment; and
exercise monitoring logic at least partially contained in the casing, the exercise monitoring logic comprises(i) one or more tilt switches,(ii) one or more sensory elements including at least a first laser device that, when actuated, outwardly projects a planar light beam and produces a visual line of light representing a prescribed path of travel, and(iii) a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more tilt switches and the one or more sensory elements, the controller configured to generate a signal to the one or more sensory elements to emit an alert in response to the one or more tilt switches detecting a deviation in longitudinal or lateral movement of the exercise equipment by at least a prescribed angular offset from the prescribed path of travel.

Abstract
An embodiment of an exercise monitoring apparatus is shown. Herein, the exercise monitoring apparatus comprises a casing, a fastening member, a first laser device and a second laser device. The first laser device is oriented so that, when actuated, the device outwardly projects a first light beam in a direction substantially perpendicular to a top surface of the casing. The first light beam visually produces a line of light. The second laser device is oriented so that, when actuated, the device outwardly projects a second light beam in a direction substantially perpendicular to one of the sidewalls of the casing and substantially perpendicular to the first light beam.

8. An exercise monitoring apparatus comprising:
-
a casing including a top surface, a bottom surface and a plurality of sidewalls; a fastening member coupled to the casing, the fastening member configured to attach the casing to a fitness equipment; a first laser device being oriented so that, when actuated, outwardly projects a planar, first light beam in an upward direction substantially perpendicular to the top surface of the casing, the planar, first light beam being projected from the first laser device to produce a visible line of light; a second laser device being oriented so that, when actuated, outwardly projects a second light beam in a direction substantially perpendicular to one of the sidewalls of the casing and to the planar, first light beam; one or more tilt switches; and a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more tilt switches, the first laser device and the second laser device, the controller configured to generate a signal to at least one of the first laser device or second laser device in response to deviation in movement of the fitness equipment detected by the one or more tilt switches. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
