Description

Field of the Invention The field of the invention is a multimodal fitness bar. Background Fitness bars are known. Resistance bands are known. US 2022/133198 discloses a system for quantification of exercise and physical therapy including an anchoring module and an electronics module. The anchoring module is removably attached to an object or equipped with a clamping mechanism for removably securing the object. At least one of the modules includes a sensor configured to generate a signal representative of the user's performance during exercise or physical therapy, a processor configured to receive signals from the force sensor and a computer storage medium storing software code and in communication with the processor. Summary According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a multimodal fitness bar comprising a handle comprising at least one battery. The multimodal fitness bar comprises a resistance assemble coupled with the handle, the resistance assembly comprising a heating element. The heating element comprises at least one wire for generating heat; and the heating element connects to the at least one battery by a connecting cable. In some embodiments, the connecting cable may be disposed along an edge of the resistance assembly. In some embodiments, the heating element may be con configured to generate a temperature from 18.3 °C to 57.2 °C (65°F to 135°F). In some embodiments, the multimodal bar further may comprise an input, and the input may be configured to toggle the heating element between on and off. In some embodiments, the input is configured to adjust the temperature of the heating element.
