Abstract

An exercise training system for facilitating tempo-based exercising using a computing device. The system includes a music library module having a plurality of selectable music files stored in a data storage device. The system includes a video instruction library module including a plurality of selectable video instruction files stored in a data storage device. The system includes a builder module to manage organization of selected music files and video instruction files into a coordinated music stream and a coordinated video instruction stream using a processor. The system includes a tempo registration module for selectably altering an effective tempo of each of the music stream and the video instruction stream to each match a selectable desired tempo using a processor. The system includes a tempo selection module to permit a user to select a value for the desired tempo.

Claims

1. An exercise training system for facilitating tempo-based exercising using a computing device, comprising:

a. a music library module including a plurality of selectable music files stored in a data storage device;

b. a video instruction library module including a plurality of selectable video instruction files stored in a data storage device;

c. a builder module in communication with each of the music library and the video instruction library module that manages organization of selected music files and video instruction files into a coordinated music stream and a coordinated video instruction stream using a processor;

d. a tempo registration module that selectably alters an effective tempo of each of the music stream and the video instruction stream to each match a selectable desired tempo using a processor; and

e. a tempo selection module in communication with the tempo registration module that permits a user to select a value for the desired tempo.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a management module in communication with the builder module that authorizes and manages a plurality of users of the system.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a third party interaction module in communication with the builder module that permits a third party to automatically prescribe files through the system to a particular user.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising a user library module that permits users to automatically share coordinated music and video instruction streams to other users.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising an expert library module for expert trainers and instructors to publish coordinated music and video instruction streams to a plurality of user subscribers.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the third party interaction module includes an advice module for a third party to recommend or advise a user about exercise or diet plans.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a display device in communication with the processor for viewing a coordinated music stream and a coordinated video instruction stream.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a tempo calculation module for automatically calculating a desired tempo based on characteristics associated with a particular user.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising a tempo test module for testing a desired tempo of the coordinated music and video instruction stream.

10. An exercise training system for facilitating tempo-based exercising using a computing device, comprising:

a. a music library module including a plurality of selectable music files stored in a data storage device;

b. a video instruction library module including a plurality of selectable video instruction files stored in a data storage device;

c. a builder module in communication with each of the music library and the video instruction library module that manages organization of selected music files and video instruction files into a coordinated music stream and a coordinated video instruction stream using a processor;

d. a tempo registration module that selectably alters an effective tempo of each of the music stream and the video instruction stream to each match a selectable desired tempo using a processor;

e. a tempo selection module in communication with the tempo registration module that permits a user to select a value for the desired tempo; and

f. a management module in communication with the builder module that authorizes and manages a plurality of users of the system.

11. The system of claim 10, further comprising a third party interaction module in communication with the builder module that permits a third party to automatically prescribe files through the system to a particular user.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising a user library module that permits users to automatically share coordinated music and video instruction streams to other users.

13. The system of claim 12, further comprising an expert library module for expert trainers and instructors to publish coordinated music and video instruction streams to a plurality of user subscribers.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the third party interaction module includes an advice module for a third party to recommend or advise a user about exercise or diet plans.

15. The system of claim 14, further comprising a display device in communication with the processor for viewing a coordinated music stream and a coordinated video instruction stream.

16. The system of claim 15, further comprising a tempo calculation module for automatically calculating a desired tempo based on characteristics associated with a particular user.

17. The system of claim 16, further comprising a tempo test module for testing a desired tempo of the coordinated music and video instruction stream.

18. An exercise training system for facilitating tempo-based exercising using a computing device, comprising:

a. a music library module including a plurality of selectable music files stored in a data storage device;

b. a video instruction library module including a plurality of selectable video instruction files stored in a data storage device;

c. a builder module in communication with each of the music library and the video instruction library module that manages organization of selected music files and video instruction files into a coordinated music stream and a coordinated video instruction stream using a processor;
