1. An interactive exercise device for measuring and displaying exercise performance parameters, the interactive exercise device comprising:
- a step measuring device that outputs a step signal corresponding to each step walked by a user;
a processor for determining a plurality of exercise performance parameters based on the step signals output from the step measuring device;
a memory for storing the determined exercise performance parameters;
a menu-driven interface display for displaying a plurality of menus, the menus for displaying at least the determined exercise performance parameters;
a user input device for operation by the user to select a display of one of the menus on the interface display and to provide input data corresponding to a selected display;
an interface connection for connecting the interactive exercise device to an external computing device, the interface connection supporting an upload of the determined exercise performance parameters from the interactive exercise device to the external computing device, and supporting a download of user-specified data from the external computing device to the interactive exercise device, the user-specified data including at least one user-specified message that is displayed on the interface display when a user-selected one of the determined exercise performance parameters reaches a user-specified threshold;
a main body in which the step measuring device, the processor, the memory, the menu-driven interface display, the user input device, and the interface connection are disposed;
a hinged lid connected to the main body by a hinge, the hinged lid forming a clam-shell shape in conjunction with the main body and covering the interface display when closed against a first side of the main body; and
a detachable face-plate removably attached to a second side of the main body, the detachable face-plate having an integrated latch for latching the hinged lid in a closed position against the first side of the main body.
