Fitness apparatus

Abstract

A fitness apparatus for a shoe is disclosed. The shoe includes a top portion, a sole portion, and an interior portion. Additionally, the shoe includes one or more processors, one or more memory modules, and a plurality of lighting elements. The shoe further includes a power supply, a lighting power switch, a satellite antenna, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that cause the shoe to perform at least one of determining a distance travelled between a start position and an end position, determining calories burned during the distance travelled, activating the plurality of lighting elements in a lighting mode in response to a signal received from the lighting power switch, and sending fitness data indicative of the distance travelled, calories burned, or the lighting mode, when executed by the one or more processors.

1 . A clothing item comprising:
 an exterior portion;   an interior portion lining an inside of the exterior portion;   one or more processors;   one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;   a plurality of lighting elements coupled to the one or more processors, the plurality of lighting elements disposed at the exterior portion of the clothing item;   a power supply providing power to the plurality of lighting elements;   a lighting power switch configured to control the plurality of lighting elements;   a network interface hardware for sending and receiving fitness data.; and   machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that cause the clothing item to perform at least the following when executed by the one or more processors to:
 determine a distance travelled between a start position and an end position; 
 determine and map a route travelled between the start position and the end position; 
 determine a speed travelled; 
 determine calories burned during the distance travelled; 
 determine a current position; 
 activate the plurality of lighting elements in a lighting mode in response to a signal from the lighting power switch; and 
 send fitness data indicative of the distance travelled, the route travelled, the speed travelled; the calories burned, the current position, or the lighting mode. 
   
     
     
         2 . The clothing item of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a satellite antenna communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; and   a display device communicatively coupled to the network interface hardware, wherein fitness data is received and displayed on the display device.   
     
     
         3 . The clothing item of  claim 1 , further comprising a PCB chip comprising the one or more processors, the one or more memory modules, the power supply, the satellite antenna and an accelerometer module, wherein the PCB chip is disposed at the interior lining of the clothing item, wherein the clothing item is a jacket, a shirt, a t-shirt, a pair of pants, a pair of shorts, or a skirt, wherein attachment members are used to attach the plurality of lighting elements to the clothing item, wherein the attachment members are hooks and loops, or zippers.
