Exercise apparatus

Abstract

An exercise apparatus that is configured to provide execution of a plurality of exercises wherein the exercise apparatus includes a bar member having movable segments operably coupled therewith. The exercise apparatus includes a bar member wherein the bar member includes a core section having a first end and a second end. The core section has telescopically secured thereto a pair of inner extendible segments and a pair of outer extendible segments. The outer extendible segments are configured to comprise the majority of the total weight of the exercise apparatus. The exercise apparatus is configured with a central processing unit, a motion sensor and a transceiver that are operable to facilitate a communicable coupling with a remote computing device. The exercise apparatus is configured to have a plurality of accessory elements secured thereto such as but not limited to a pull up accessory and a push up accessory.

         5 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 4 , and further including a central processing unit, said central processing unit disposed within the bar member, said central processing unit having electronics configured to receive, store, transmit and manipulate data. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 5 , and further including a motion sensor and a transceiver, said motion sensor and transceiver being disposed within said bar member, said motion sensor and transceiver operable to communicably couple with a mobile computing device. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the exercise apparatus further includes a push up accessory element, said push up accessory element operable to facilitate a push up exercise for a user of the exercise apparatus. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the exercise apparatus further includes a pull up accessory element, said pull up accessory element operable to facilitate a pull up exercise for a user of the exercise apparatus. 
     
     
         9 . An exercise apparatus configured to facilitate the execution of a plurality of exercises wherein the exercise apparatus comprises:
 a bar member, said bar member having a core section, said core section having a first end and a second end, said core section being manufactured from a rigid material, said core section being cylindrical in shape,   an inner pair of extendible segments, said inner pair of extendible segments being slidably coupled to said core section of said bar member, said inner pair of extendible segments configured to slide in opposed directions with respect to each other on said core section;   an outer pair of extendible segments, said outer pair of extendible segments being slidably coupled to said inner pair of extendible segments, said outer pair of extendible segments configured to slide in opposed directions with respect to each other in order to extend a length of the bar member;   wherein a majority of a total weight of the exercise apparatus is present in the outer pair of extendible segments and wherein the exercise apparatus includes a first position and a second position.   
     
     
         10 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 9 , and further including a central processing unit, said central processing unit disposed within the bar member, said central processing unit having electronics configured to receive, store, transmit and manipulate data. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 10 , and further including a motion sensor and a transceiver, said motion sensor and transceiver being disposed within said bar member, said motion sensor and transceiver operable to communicably couple with a mobile computing device. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 11 , wherein in said first position of the exercise apparatus said outer pair of extendible segments are adjacent one another. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 12 , wherein in said second position of the exercise apparatus said inner pair of extendible segments and said outer pair of extendible segments are extended outward from said core section. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 13 , wherein said outer pair of extendible segments have a weight that comprises seventy five percent of a total weight of the exercise apparatus. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise apparatus as recited in  claim 14 , wherein the bar member is provide in alternate sizes having different total weights. 
     
     
         16 .
