Abstract
Disclosed is an automatic system for configuration, direction and recording of exercise program for an individual, based upon the attained heart rate of that person during an exercise period. Configuration data can be stored on an account accessible over a network. Configuration data can also be stored in an electronic device. The electronic device can provide information feedback to the user indicating the user'"'"'s progress in a workout. In some embodiments the device can also send configuration commands to compatible exercise equipment according to heart rate or other exercise parameter.

18. A method for regulating exercise, comprising:
-
receiving a heart rate signal about a user;
using a unique identifier to access a network account indexed by the unique identifier;
retrieving exercise data about the user from the account, the exercise data including a target heart rate;
storing a representation of the exercise data in an electronic device proximate to the user;
comparing an instantaneous heart rate of the user to a stored target heart rate; and
providing a signal to the user indicating results of a comparison of the instantaneous heart rate to the stored target heart rate. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
