1. An exercise system, comprising:
an exercise machine; and
an exercise handle coupled to the exercise machine via a cable, the exercise handle comprising a set of sensors;
wherein the set of sensors is used to detect:
a location of a thumb of a user's hand on the exercise handle and an orientation of the exercise handle; and
an observed pressure mapping; and
wherein whether a right hand or a left hand of the user is holding the exercise handle is determined, by a processor, based at least in part on:
the detected location of the thumb of the user's hand on the exercise handle and the orientation of the exercise handle; and
a comparison of the observed pressure mapping against an expected pressure mapping, wherein the expected pressure mapping is associated with a particular exercise movement.
