Programmable exercise instruction device

Abstract

A programmable workout device for leading a user in a workout. A user interface is attached to a housing. A microprocessor is in operative connection with the user interface and is installed within the housing. A memory unit is in operative communication with the microprocessor and is installed in the housing. A database is stored in the memory unit. The database includes a bank of prerecorded workout routines. The microprocessor and memory unit operate in conjunction to randomly present the prerecorded workout routines to a user who is exercising so that the user can follow the workout routine.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A programmable workout device for leading a user in a workout, comprising:
 A. a housing,   B. a user interface attached to said housing,   C. a microprocessor in operative connection with said user interface and installed within said housing,   D. a memory unit in operative communication with said microprocessor, and   E. a database stored in said memory unit, wherein said database unit comprises a bank of a plurality of prerecorded workout routines wherein said microprocessor and said memory unit operate in conjunction to randomly present said prerecorded workout routines to a user who is exercising to lead the user in at least one of said prerecorded workout routines.   
     
     
         2 . The programmable workout device as in  claim 1 , wherein said prerecorded workout routines are downloaded to said programmable workout device via the Internet. 
     
     
         3 . The programmable workout device as in  claim 1 , wherein said programmable workout device is connected to a television set comprising a television set screen, wherein said plurality of prerecorded workout routines are displayed to said user via said television set screen. 
     
     
         4 . The programmable workout device as in  claim 1 , wherein said programmable workout device is connected to a laptop computer comprising a monitor screen, wherein said plurality of prerecorded workout routines are displayed to said user via said monitor screen. 
     
     
         5 . The programmable workout device as in  claim 1 , wherein said programmable workout device is connected to a desktop computer comprising a monitor screen, wherein said plurality of prerecorded workout routines are displayed to said user via said monitor screen. 
     
     
         6 . The programmable workout device as in  claim 1 , wherein said database of prerecorded workout routines are organized into categories that reflect a specific body area for exercise, wherein the user selects the specific area for exercise via said user interface, wherein at least one of said prerecorded workout routines covering the specific body part is randomly presented to the user. 
     
     
         7 . The programmable workout device as in  claim 1 , further comprising a display screen for displaying said plurality of workout routines. 
     
     
         8 . The programmable workout device as in  claim 1 , wherein said workout device is lightweight and hand portable. 
     
     
         9 . The programmable workout device as in  claim 1 , wherein said programmable workout device is programmed desk top computer. 
     
     
         10 . The programmable workout device as in  claim 1 , wherein said programmable workout device is a hand held personal computing device.
