Abstract
An exercise aid, worn on the head as a sweatband or built into a helmet or hat, which enhances exercise benefits while minimizing exercise interruptions or distractions. A microcomputer processes heart rate, time and exercise-related inputs and records selected information. A speech synthesizer provides voice output to inform and give instructions to the wearer. Easily located and actuated controls allow convenient operation while actively exercising. Through an interface to an external computer, the device may be programmed to provide the wearer with a customized sequence of instructions and information may be read out for analysis.
