Abstract

A computer-implemented method to generate a customized workout routine based on a physical fitness goal of a user is described. Data relating to an exercise apparatus is retrieved. Profile information for a user of the exercise apparatus is analyzed. A customized workout routine is generated for the user to implement with the exercise apparatus. The routine is based on the analyzed profile information of the user and the retrieved data relating to the exercise apparatus.

Claims (46)

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

retrieving, by a hardware processor, data relating to an exercise apparatus;

analyzing, by the hardware processor, profile information for a user of the exercise apparatus; and

generating, by the hardware processor, a customized workout routine for the user to implement with the exercise apparatus, wherein the routine is based on the analyzed profile information of the user and the retrieved data relating to the exercise apparatus.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the profile information comprises identifying at least one goal relating to physical fitness.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein retrieving data relating to the exercise apparatus comprises scanning a barcode relating to the exercise apparatus, wherein the barcode comprises encoded information relating to the exercise apparatus.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein retrieving data relating to the exercise apparatus comprises scanning a Quick Response (QR) code relating to the exercise apparatus, wherein the QR code comprises encoded information relating to the exercise apparatus.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein retrieving data relating to the exercise apparatus comprises:

establishing a near field communication (NFC) radio communication link; and

retrieving the data via the link.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data relating to the exercise apparatus comprises a video file including a video demonstrating functions of the exercise apparatus.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the customized workout routine comprises:

identifying at least one physical fitness goal included in the profile information;

determining whether the exercise apparatus is related to the at least one physical fitness goal; and

upon determining that the exercise apparatus is related to the at least one physical fitness goal, generating the customized workout routine for the user to implement using the exercise apparatus.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the customized workout routine comprises a number of repetitions to perform with the exercise apparatus, a quantity of weight to use with the exercise apparatus, a speed factor, a resistance factor, or a time period to use the exercise apparatus.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

tracking the activity of the user in relation to the exercise apparatus; and

analyzing the tracked activity to monitor the progress of the user in relation to completing a physical fitness goal.

10 . A computing device, comprising:

a processor;

memory in electronic communication with the processor;

a data sensing module, stored in the memory, the data sensing module configured to:

retrieve data relating to an exercise apparatus;

analyze profile information for a user of the exercise apparatus; and

generate a customized workout routine for the user to implement with the exercise apparatus, wherein the routine is based on the analyzed profile information of the user and the retrieved data relating to the exercise apparatus.

11 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the data sensing module is further configured to identify at least one goal relating to physical fitness.

12 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the data sensing module is further configured to scan a barcode relating to the exercise apparatus, wherein the barcode comprises encoded information relating to the exercise apparatus.

13 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the data sensing module is further configured to scan a Quick Response (QR) code relating to the exercise apparatus, wherein the QR code comprises encoded information relating to the exercise apparatus.

14 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the data sensing module is further configured to:

establish a near field communication (NFC) radio communication link; and

retrieve the data via the link.

15 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the data relating to the exercise apparatus comprises a video file including a video demonstrating functions of the exercise apparatus.

16 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the data sensing module is further configured to:

identify at least one physical fitness goal included in the profile information;

determine whether the exercise apparatus is related to the at least one physical fitness goal; and

upon determining that the exercise apparatus is related to the at least one physical fitness goal, generate the customized workout routine for the user to implement using the exercise apparatus.

17 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the customized workout routine comprises a number of repetitions to perform with the exercise apparatus, a quantity of weight to use with the exercise apparatus, a speed factor, a resistance factor, or a time period to use the exercise apparatus.

18 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the data sensing module is further configured to:

track the activity of the user in relation to the exercise apparatus; and

analyze the tracked activity to monitor the progress of the user in relation to completing a physical fitness goal.

19 . A computer-program product, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions thereon, the instructions comprising:

code programmed to retrieve data relating to an exercise apparatus;

code programmed to analyze profile information for a user of the exercise apparatus; and

code programmed to generate a customized workout routine for the user to implement with the exercise apparatus, wherein the routine is based on the analyzed profile information of the user and the retrieved data relating to the exercise apparatus.

20 . The computer-program product of claim 19 , wherein the instructions comprising code programmed to analyze the profile information further comprise code programmed to identify at least one goal relating to physical fitness.
