User interface for a resistance training device and method of use
First Claim
1. A portable recording device configured for recording achievement of resistance training objectives with at least two resistance training parameters in connection with a resistance training workout;
- the device adapted to;
receive a resistance training workout comprising a series of sets for at least two different resistance training exercises, each set having resistance training objectives with at least two resistance training parameters; and
record the performance of the resistance training objectives or deviations from the resistance training objectives by;
STEP A) initializing a current set as a first set from a previously received resistance training workout for a series of sets for at least two different resistance training exercises;
STEP B) presenting;
a current resistance training exercise for the current set;
a specified number of repetitions for the current set and a specified resistance level for the current set;
STEP C) receiving from the user a reported performance for the current set through a confirmation of performance of the specified number of repetitions at the specified resistance level for the current set;
ELSEreceiving the deviation in performance of the specified number of repetitions, if any; and
receiving the deviation in the specified resistance level, if any;
STEP D) IF the current set is not a last set in the previously received resistance training workout for a series of sets for at least two different resistance training exercises, THEN setting a next set in the series of previously received resistance training workout for a series of sets for at least two different resistance training exercises as the current set AND GOTO STEP B;
ELSEthe previously received resistance training workout is complete.

Abstract
A system, method, and device for recording and tracking resistance training parameters in connection with a resistance training workout. A specially configured portable recording device has a very compact user interface having an input device with very few inputs. A user may record resistance training parameters directly on the recording device both quickly and easily with few and simple keystrokes, resulting in an improved recording process. A personal trainer or strength coach may track the workouts of multiple exercisers with increased convenience. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the recording device is provided in the body of a sport watch.
