Portable exercise scripting and monitoring device
First Claim
1. A portable exercise scripting and monitoring device comprising:
- a processor having operatively coupled thereto;
a separate and user affixable wireless motion sensor configured to wirelessly send motion signals to the processor in dependence on detection of exercise motions associated with either a user'"'"'s body part or a dynamic element of an exercise apparatus to which the motion sensor is affixed;
a datastore configured to retrievably store one or more user configurable or selectable exercise regimens, each exercise regimen including a plurality of prescribed exercise activity sets, each prescribed exercise activity set including a prescribed exercise type and a number of prescribed repetitions to be performed by the user for the prescribed exercise type;
a memory having operatively loaded therein an exercise monitoring program IS including instructions executable by the processor to;
access an exercise regimen, sequence through a plurality of prescribed exercise activity sets included in the accessed exercise regimen, and for each prescribed exercise activity set output an indication to the user the prescribed exercise type and the number of prescribed repetitions to be performed, process the motion signals sent from the motion sensor as the user performs the prescribed exercise activity set, interactively count the number of repetitions performed by the user during the exercise activity set in dependence on the processed motion signals and determine when the user has performed the number of prescribed repetitions of the prescribed exercise activity set.

Abstract
An apparatus, method and computer program product for a portable exercise scripting and monitoring including includes a processor, a separate and user affixable wireless motion sensor configured to wirelessly send motion signals to the processor in dependence on detection of exercise motions associated with either a user'"'"'s body part or a dynamic element of an exercise apparatus to which the motion sensor is affixed. A datastore is provided and coupled to the processor and configured to retrievably store one or more user configurable or selectable exercise regimens, each exercise regimen including a plurality of prescribed exercise activity sets, each set including a prescribed exercise type and a number of prescribed repetitions to be performed by the user. An exercise monitoring program accesses an exercise regimen and sequences through a plurality of exercise activity sets included therein, for each outputting an indication to the user the prescribed exercise type and the number of repetitions to be performed in accordance, processing the motion signals sent from the motion sensor as the user performs the prescribed exercise activity set, interactively counting the number of prescribed repetitions performed by the user in dependence on the processed motion signals, and determining when the user has performed the prescribed number of repetitions of the exercise set.

18. A method for providing a portable exercise scripting and monitoring device comprising:
-
providing a datastore configured to retrievably store one or more user configurable or selectable exercise regimens, each exercise regimen including a plurality of prescribed exercise activity sets, each exercise activity set including a prescribed exercise type and a number of prescribed repetitions to be performed by a user;
providing an exercise monitoring program including instructions executable by a processor associated with the portable exercise scripting and monitoring device for;
accessing a stored exercise regimen from the datastore, sequencing through a plurality of prescribed exercise activity sets included in the accessed exercise regimen and for each prescribed exercise activity set, outputting an indication to the user the prescribed exercise type and the number of prescribed repetitions to be performed, processing the signals sent from a motion sensor coupled to the processor as the user performs the prescribed exercise activity set, interactively counting the number of repetitions performed by the user during the exercise activity set in dependence on the processed signals and determining when the user has performed the number of prescribed repetitions included in the prescribed exercise activity set. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
