System and method for simulating real world exercise sessions

摘要

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.

1. In an exercise system having a remote communication system adapted to communicate with a plurality of exercise devices, a method for generating an exercise program comprising:
receiving at a remote communication system route information identifying a route traveled by an individual during a real world exercise session, the remote communication system comprising one or more processors for processing the route information; generating an exercise program from the route information, the exercise program comprising control signals that cause a first exercise device and a second exercise device to substantially simulate topographical characteristics of the route traveled by the individual during the real world exercise session, sending the exercise program to the first exercise device, the first exercise device including one or more first movable members; receiving the exercise program at the first exercise device; programming the first exercise device to perform the exercise program, the control signals of the exercise program selectively adjusting the one or more first movable members of the first exercise device to simulate the real world exercise session; sending the same exercise program that was sent to the first exercise device to the second exercise device, the second exercise device including one or more second movable members, the first exercise device and the second exercise device being different types of exercise devices; receiving the exercise program at the second exercise device; and programming the second exercise device to perform the exercise program, the control signals of the exercise program selectively adjusting the one or more second movable members of the second exercise device to simulate the real world exercise session.
