1. A method for a primary user exercising in communication with a remote secondary user, comprising the steps of:

  • the primary user using an exercise system, said exercise system comprising;

    a primary user interface configured for interaction with the primary user;

    an electric motor, said electric motor configured to provide a resistive force to said primary user interface;

    a controller communicatively coupled with said electric motor, said controller configured to control the resistive force supplied by said electric motor as a function of time; and

    means for communication with the secondary user, said means for communication communicatively coupled with said controller; and

    communicating output of said exercise system with the remote secondary user,said controller dynamically adjusting the resistive force supplied by said electric motor to a first resistive force when the primary user interface moves in a first direction; and

    said controller dynamically adjusting the resistive force supplied by said electric motor to a second resistive force when the user interface moves in a direction opposite said first direction, said first resistive force at least ten percent less than said second resistive force.
