Method and Apparatus For Using Cues and Music During Exercise Routine

Abstract

A method of instructing, motivating and influencing a user's exercise routine using cues and music is disclosed.

1 . A computer-implemented method for providing a user with a combination of exercise instructions matched to digital music beats-per-minute (BPM) comprising
 a) receiving exercise instructions and music from a set of data, the set of data comprising a set of exercise instructions and a music list segmented by music beats-per-minute (BPM);   b) inputting the set of data into a computer readable storage unit coupled to one or more processors;   c) configuring the processor to couple the exercise instructions with music from the music list segmented by music beats-per-minute; and   d) deriving and storing in volatile or non-volatile memory an association of the set of exercise instructions with the music segmented by music beats-per-minute; wherein one or more steps a)-d) are performed using one or more configured processors.   
     
     
         2 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing the method-of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         3 . A computer-implemented method according to  claim 1 , wherein the exercise instructions are selected from a group consisting of verbal, visual or both. 
     
     
         4 . A computer-implemented method according to  claim 3 , wherein the exercise instructions is to proper body alignment. 
     
     
         5 . A computer-implemented method according to  claim 1 , the method used for exercise specific routines selected from a group consisting of indoor cycling, elliptical trainers, stair climbers and stationary row machines. 
     
     
         6 . A computer-implemented method according to  claim 1 , further comprising two or music lists. 
     
     
         7 . A computer-implemented method according to  claim 6 , wherein each music list represents an individual section for an exercise specific routine. 
     
     
         8 . A computer-implemented method according to  claim 7 , wherein the user can select a previously selected music list or a previously selected combination of music lists. 
     
     
         9 . A computer-implemented method according to  claim 5 , wherein the user can further select a level of skill for the exercise specific routine.
