1. An exercise device comprising:

  • a frame;

    a movable element operably associated with the frame, the movable element being movable relative to the frame during performance of an exercise;

    a fan connected to the frame that increases air flow in a particular direction;

    a sensing mechanism that senses at least one physiological condition of a user performing an exercise with the movable element; and

    a processing unit in communication with both the sensing mechanism and the fan, wherein the speed of the air flow created by the fan is controlled based on a comparison between the at least one physiological condition sensed and a user identified target rate associated with the at least one physiological condition;

    wherein the speed of the air flow created by the fan decreases if the at least one physiological condition sensed exceeds the target rate; and

    wherein the target rate identified by the user is programmed into the processing unit by the user.
