Cardio-based exercise systems with visual feedback on exercise programs

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device disposed in a cardio exercise machine, fitness data related to a fitness level of a user; selecting, by the computing device, a workout program with selection of the workout program being based at least in part on the fitness data received by the computing device; controlling by the computing device operational characteristics of the cardio exercise machine based at least in part on the workout program that includes a predetermined performance standard for operational characteristics of the cardio exercise machine; generating, by the computing device, real time feedback based on the user's performance on the cardio exercise machine, according to the operational characteristics and the selected workout program; and rendering by the computing device the feedback on a display device on the cardio exercise machine, with the rendered feedback including a plurality of visual performance data items that include speed and resistance level operational characteristics, with each visual performance data item rendered as a separate dynamic visualization with respect to the predetermined standard for each operational characteristic.
