In general, a computing device disposed in a cardio exercise machine receives data related to a fitness level of a user. The computing device selects a workout program based at least in part on the data. The operations of the cardio exercise machine are controlled based at least in part on the workout program. The computing device generates visual feedback based on at least one of the user's operation of the cardio exercise machine and the selected workout program measured against performance criteria.

Cardio-based exercise systems with visual feedback on exercise programs

In general, a computing device disposed in a cardio exercise machine receives data related to a fitness level of a user. The computing device selects a workout program based at least in part on the data. The operations of the cardio exercise machine are controlled based at least in part on the workout program. The computing device generates audio feedback based on at least one of the user's operation of the cardio exercise machine and the selected workout program. The processed data is stored on a removable computer storage medium that is insertable into a port of the cardio exercise machine.

Controlling exercise equipment

A process is disclosed for enabling an operator to exercise on an exercise device. The process includes measuring a range of movement of the operator during exercising on the exercise device for generating an electronic range of movement data. A strength is measured of the operator during exercising on the exercise device for generating an electronic strength data. An electronic program is designed based on the electronic range of movement data and the electronic strength data. The electronic program is stored in an electronic media. The electronic program is displayed as a moving scale on a screen for instructing the operator to exercise at the same rate as the moving scale to complete the exercise in a timely and controlled matter.

Process and apparatus for exercising an operator

An exercise apparatus includes a frame and a load mechanism disposed on the frame. The load mechanism has a plurality of selectable weights with each of the selectable weights having an associated indicator device. A press is mechanically coupled to the load mechanism to displace a load based on a selected weight and a sensor is disposed to measure an extent and speed of displacement of the load. A processor is in communication with the sensor, and the processor is configured to determine an indicator signal to send to the indicator device of one of the plurality of selectable weights of the load mechanism based on received performance data, the indicator signal used to indicate which one of the plural of weights to select.

Exercising apparatus

An apparatus and method is disclosed for enabling an operator to exercise comprising a frame with a load positioned on the frame to provide a resistive force. A press is positioned on the frame for displacement by the operator. A linkage joins the load with the press for displacing the load upon displacement of the press by the operator. A display is provided for inputting and outputting data. A sensor is positioned on the frame for measuring a displacement and a speed of the linkage. A memory storage is provided for storing data. A processor communicates with the display and the sensor and the memory storage for processing data. The processor transfers data to the display for providing an exercising instruction to the operator. The processor receives data from the sensor for processing the performance of the exercising instruction by the operator. The processor transfers data to the memory storage for saving the performance of the exercising instruction by the operator.

Sleeve for an electronic device

A sleeve is disclosed for engaging an electronic device. The electronic device includes a housing with a plug extending therefrom. The housing has an engaging surface and a housing support surface. The sleeve comprises a plug cap for receiving the plug. A housing cap includes a cavity for receiving the housing. An elastic tether extends between the plug cap and the housing cap for securing the plug cap to the housing cap. The elastic tether is deformable for providing a first length during the plug cap engaging the plug. The elastic tether is deformable for providing a second length during the plug cap displaced above the plug. The elastic tether being is deformable for providing a third length during said plug cap removed from the plug. A coupling is disclosed for joining an electronic device and a computer device. The coupling comprises a housing having a first end, a second end and a body. The body defines a contoured body cross section. A receptacle has an interior end, an exterior end and a wall surface. The wall surface defines a contoured wall cross section. The contoured body cross section is commensurate with the contoured wall cross section for inserting and keying the housing into the receptacle.
