Exercise apparatus
First Claim
1. A portable memory module, comprising a memory for storing information which is usable for controlling the operation of an exercise device, said memory further storing identifiers each of which identifies corresponding information as usable for controlling the operation of a particular type of exercise device, wherein the identifiers include a first identifier for identifying first information stored in said memory as usable for controlling the operation of a first type of exercise device and a second identifier for identifying second information as usable for controlling the operation of a second type of exercise device different than the first type of exercise device.

19. An exercise apparatus, comprising:
-
an exercise device usable by an exerciser; a control unit; and a memory for storing information which is usable by said control unit for controlling the operation of said exercise device during use by the exerciser and for storing sequence data for defining a sequence of said information, wherein said control unit is configured to use said sequence data to select from said memory first information in said sequence when the exerciser uses said exercise device a first time, and said control unit is configured to use said sequence data to select from said memory second information in the sequence when the exerciser uses said exercise device a second time subsequent to the first time. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
