Flagging irregularities in user performance in an exercise machine system. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method may include receiving first performance parameters of a first user associated with a first exercise machine that is executing a video workout program to enable the first user to perform a workout on the first exercise machine. The method may also include detecting an irregularity in the first performance parameters that indicates a performance of the workout by the first user is different than expected. The method may further include, in response to the detecting of the irregularity, displaying a visually discernable indication with a first performance indicator of the first user to visually indicate the irregularity.

Leaderboard with irregularity flags in an exercise machine system. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method may include executing a video workout program on first and second exercise machines, monitoring first and second performance parameters of first and second users during the execution of the video workout program, displaying a leaderboard which displays and ranks first and second performance indicators of the first and second users based on the first and second performance parameters, detecting an irregularity in the first performance parameters of the first user, and updating the leaderboard to display an irregularity flag associated with the first performance indicator of the first user to indicate the irregularity in the performance of the first user during the workout.

In an exercise system having a remote communication system adapted to communicate with an exercise device, a method for generating an exercise program includes receiving route information identifying a route traveled by an individual during a real world exercise session, receiving audio information identifying a musical selection listened to by the individual during the real world exercise session, using the route information and the audio information to generate an exercise program. The exercise program includes control signals that cause an exercise device to substantially simulate the topographical characteristics of the route traveled by the individual during the real world exercise session, and audio signals representative of the musical selection listened to by the individual during the real world exercise session so that the musical selection is presented during a performance of the exercise program.

A data collecting device is selectively attachable to a tread base of a treadmill. The device includes a foot fall sensing mechanism that collects foot fall data from the tread base, an inclination sensing mechanism that collects inclination data regarding the inclination of the tread base, and a communication mechanism that selectively transmits the foot fall data and the inclination data to an external computing device.

Systems, methods, and devices for gathering and transmitting exercise related data

An exercise system stimulates the learning and memory of a user by detecting a stress level of the user with one or more biometric sensor devices, determining that the user's stress level is within a stress zone that is suitable for memory retention by the user, and presenting educational content to the user at one or more output devices.

Stimulating learning through exercise

A method for motivating physical performance through music includes the acts of presenting a musical rendition to a user while concurrently receiving workout information. The workout information includes one or both of a current performance level of the user or a current geographical characteristic being traversed by the user. The method further includes modifying the musical rendition based on one or both of the current performance level of the user or the current geographical characteristic being traversed by the user.

Using music to motivate a user during exercise

An embodiment of an exercise system includes an exercise monitoring device that gathers data regarding an outdoor exercise routine. Additionally, a remote communication system communicatively connectable to the exercise monitoring device is receptive to the data regarding the outdoor exercise routine such that the remote communication system generates an exercise program based on the data regarding the outdoor exercise routine. Furthermore, an exercise device that is communicatively connectable to the remote communication system may receive the exercise program and simulate one or more aspects of the outdoor exercise routine.

Indoor-outdoor exercise system

An exercise system includes an exercise monitoring device that gathers data regarding an outdoor exercise routine, a remote communication system communicatively connectable to the exercise monitoring device, and an exercise device that is communicatively connectable to the remote communication system. The remote communication system is receptive to the data regarding the outdoor exercise routine and generates an exercise program based on the data regarding the outdoor exercise routine. The exercise device is receptive to the exercise program, and the exercise program causes the exercise device to simulate one or more aspects of the outdoor exercise routine.
