Abstract

Example systems and methods for generating a training program for an exerciser involve receiving information about a future athletic event and selecting, based on the future athletic event information, exercise data for controlling an exercise apparatus for use by an exerciser training for the athletic event.

Claims

1. An exercise system computer comprising:

a communication interface configured to receive information about a future athletic event; and

a processing system configured to select, based on the future athletic event information, exercise data for controlling an exercise apparatus for use by an exerciser training for the athletic event.
