First Claim
1. A device for monitoring and analyzing a workout of a user on exercise machines, said device comprising:
- a) a portable housing receivable within a cradle positioned on the exercise machine;
b) means for sensing lifting and lowering repetitions of weights on the exercise machine;
c) a processor positioned within said housing and connected to said sensing means for counting a number of repetitions sensed by said sensing means and determining a time taken for completing each repetition; and
d) a display positioned on said housing and connected to said processor for providing a visual indication of the number of repetitions counted and the time for completion of each repetition determined by said processor.

Abstract
An exercise training and monitoring system for analyzing a workout of a user on an exercise machine. The device includes a portable housing receivable within a cradle positioned on the exercise machine and a sensor lifting and lowering repetitions of weights on the exercise machine. A processor is positioned within the housing and is connected to the sensor for counting a number of repetitions sensed by the sensor and determining a time taken for completing each repetition. The processor compares the number of repetitions counted and time taken to complete each repetition with predetermined values to determine if the user is obtaining an optimal workout. A display is positioned on the housing for providing a visual indication of the number of repetitions counted and the time for completion of each repetition determined by the processor. The display is a touch screen whereby data regarding the user is provided to the processor via contacting with the touch screen or activation of control keys. A speaker generates an audible signal indicative of the determinations of the processor.

13. A system for monitoring and analyzing a workout of a user on an exercise machine, said system comprising:
-
a) a cradle connected to the exercise machine, said cradle including;
i) means for sensing lifting and lowering repetitions of weights on the exercise machine; and
ii) a first input/output port positioned at a base of the cradle; and
b) a handheld unit including;
i) a portable housing receivable within said cradle;
ii) a processor positioned within said housing;
iii) a second input/output port connected to said processor and positioned on a side of said housing for mating with said first input/output port for connecting said processor to said sensing means, wherein said processor counts a number of repetitions sensed by said sensing means and determines a time taken for completing each repetition; and
iv) a display positioned on said housing and connected to said processor for providing a visual indication of the number of repetitions counted and the time for completion of each repetition determined by said processor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
