Abstract
A caloric exercise monitor and method for monitoring a person'"'"'s caloric expenditure during exercising. The caloric exercise monitor generally includes a means for measuring the person'"'"'s heart rate during exercise, an input device for enabling the person to enter an exercise goal, a calculating unit including a mathematical algorithm for calculating a caloric expenditure rate of the person during exercise based on the measured heart rate and a display for displaying an exercise parameter necessary to reach the entered exercise goal based on the calculated caloric expenditure rate. The displayed exercise parameter can be either or both the calories remaining to be expended to reach the entered goal or the remaining exercise time required to reach the entered goal.
