Exercise system

Abstract

Various systems, processes, and techniques may be used to provide an exercise system. In certain implementations, an exercise system may include a base, a number of lights, and a controller. The base may be a padded material adapted to receive the lights and have a top surface adapted to allow illumination from the lights to propagate therethrough. The base may have an agility ladder applied thereto, the ladder having a number of spaces in which users may place their feet, and the lights may be located inside and outside the spaces of the ladder. The controller may be coupled to the lights and programmed to illuminate them in a plurality of different sequences, each sequence corresponding to different footwork exercise.

1 . An exercise system comprising:
 a plurality of lights;   a base, the base comprising a padded material adapted to receive the plurality of lights and a top surface adapted to allow illumination from the lights to propagate therethrough, the base including an agility ladder applied thereto, the ladder having a number of spaces in which users may place their feet during an exercise, and the lights being located inside and outside the spaces of the agility ladder; and   a controller coupled to the lights, the controller programmed to illuminate the lights in a plurality of different sequences that direct a user to place their feet into and out of the spaces of the ladder, each sequence corresponding to a different footwork exercise.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the lights comprise light emitting diodes. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is adapted to provide a preview of footwork exercise before before an exercise begins. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is adapted to illuminate a sequence of lights at different speeds. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is adapted to illuminate a plurality of footwork sequences for a user. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the controller is adapted to allow the user to specify the footwork sequences. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , further comprising a user device, the user device adapted to communicate with the controller to specify one or more footwork sequences. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is adapted to increase the speed of a footwork exercise over time. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the base has distance demarcations applied thereto.
