Biometric data gathering
First Claim
1. A method of gathering biometric raw data generated by an individual exercising and sending the biometric raw data to a fitness website wherein the gathering of the biometric raw data includes the following steps:
- the step of the individual selecting from at least one exercise mode of specific exercises presented by the fitness website in response to fitness goals communicated by the individual to the fitness website;
the step of the individual using a smart computer device for viewing and/or listening to exercise instructions of how the specific exercises are performed as taught by video podcasts generated by the fitness website;
the further step of the individual wearing a universal motion exercising sensor module having a 6-DOF sensor while exercising to gather the biometric raw data;
the further step of the individual repeating as instructed a number of repetitions of the specific exercises wherein the number of repetitions is selected by the fitness website; and
the further step of the individual sending the gathered biometric raw data to the fitness website by using the smart computer device or other smart computer device.

Abstract
A universal 6-DOF mems sensor combined with six degree of motion algorithms and human motion parameters permits individualized real time motion analysis of a user to enable accurate measurements. Data derived thereby is wirelessly sent for viewing to a Bluetooth® enabled smartphone or combination smartphone and eyeglass device, such as the Google Glass® headset. The sensor is worn on a wrist or ankle band or in combination with a chest mounted cardio heart rate monitor dependent on the biometric parameters measured. Typical physical exercise data gathered includes reps, sets, 10-100 yard dash times, vertical, horizontal and broad jump distances, a range of shuttle times, RAST, steps taken, distance traveled, velocity, acceleration, and calories burned. The heart rate monitor provides cardio assessment and the 6-DOF sensor measures a runner'"'"'s pace and cadence data.
