1. A personal exercise device comprising:
a user interface to be moved by a user in a 3-dimensional space when using the device; a resistance mechanism to generate a force;
a cable coupled between the user interface and the resistance mechanism to transmit the force from the resistance mechanism to the user interface;
one or more sensors configured to detect movement of the user in the 3-dimensional space when using the device;
a feedback device; and
a controller in communication with the one or more sensors, the controller configured to:
estimate a user specific body structure for the user;
determine a user specific target movement for the user based on the user's body structure;
determine an actual movement of the user when using the device to perform an exercise based on one or more outputs from the one or more sensors; and
provide feedback to the user via the feedback device based on a comparison between the user's actual movement and the user specific target movement.
