Abstract

The present invention provides a health and fitness system, comprising: means for creating or receiving a structured workout; means for generating a graphical representation of the structured workout; means for displaying the graphical representation on a smartphone; means for retrieving health and fitness data from health and fitness sensors or devices; means for displaying the health and fitness data on the graphical representation; means for storing the health and fitness data on the smartphone; and means for sharing the health and fitness data with a remote computing device or database on a server.

Claims

1. A health and fitness system, comprising:

means for creating or receiving a structured workout;

means for generating a graphical representation of the structured workout;

means for displaying the graphical representation on a smartphone;

means for retrieving health and fitness data from health and fitness sensors or devices;

means for displaying the health and fitness data on the graphical representation;

means for storing the health and fitness data on the smartphone; and

means for sharing the health and fitness data with a remote computing device. or database on a server

2. The health and fitness system of claim 1, wherein the health and fitness data is displayed on the graphical representation with color indicators that represent user progress based on the health and fitness data and the structured workout.

3. The health and fitness system of claim 1, wherein the health and fitness data is displayed on the graphical representation as a trend line.

4. The health and fitness system of claim 2, wherein a position of the trend line on the graphical representation is based on how the structured workout is depicted as the graphical representation.

5. The health and fitness system of claim 2, wherein the trend line scrolls across the graphical representation as time elapses.

6. The health and fitness system of claim 1, wherein the structured workout is created on the health and fitness system or is received by the health and fitness system from an external source.

8. The health and fitness system of claim 1, wherein the remote computing device is on the Internet.

9. The health and fitness system of claim 1, wherein the health and fitness sensor or device is a heart rate monitor, a weight scale, a blood pressure monitor, a glucose meter, a cycling sensor, a cycling computer, a rowing sensor, a rowing computer, a treadmill sensor, a treadmill computer, an elliptical trainer sensor, an elliptical trainer computer, a global-positioning system device, a running sensor, a pedometer, a fitness watch or a mobile device configured to interact with a health monitoring device.

7. The health and fitness system of claim 7, wherein the external source is a fitness trainer website, a medical website, or medical practice management software.

10. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer program code embodied therein configured to cause a computing device to:

create or receive a structured workout;

generate a graphical representation of the structured workout;

display the graphical representation on a smartphone;

retrieve health and fitness data from a health and fitness sensor or device;

display the health and fitness data on the graphical representation; and

store the health and fitness data on the smartphone.

11. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the computer program code is further configured to cause the computing device to:

share the health and fitness data with a remote computing device.

12. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the health and fitness data is displayed on the graphical representation with color indicators that represent progress based on the health and fitness data and the structured workout.

13. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the health and fitness data is displayed on the graphical representation as a trend line.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein a position of the trend line on the graphical representation is based on how the structured workout is depicted as the graphical representation.

15. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the trend line scrolls across the graphical representation as time elapses.

16. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the structured workout is created on the health and fitness system or is received by the health and fitness system from an external source.

17. The computer program product of claim 16, wherein the external source is a fitness trainer website, a medical website, or medical practice management software.

18. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the remote computing device is on the Internet.

19. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the health and fitness sensor or device is a heart rate monitor, a blood pressure monitor, a glucose meter, a cycling sensor, a cycling computer, a rowing sensor, a rowing computer, a treadmill sensor, a treadmill computer, an elliptical trainer sensor, an elliptical trainer computer, a global-positioning system device, a running sensor, a pedometer, a fitness watch. or a mobile device configured to interact with a health monitoring device.
