Personalized high intensity interval training platform

Abstract

Consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure, a Personalized High Intensity Interval Training (PHIIT®) platform may be provided. The platform may be comprised of systems and methods disclosed herein. Embodiments of the PHIIT platform may be used by individuals to complete various predetermined workout plans. A predetermined workout plan may consist of, for example, a series of individual exercises performed in succession and in conjunction with workout equipment. The PHIIT platform may provide individuals with a number of workout plans that incorporate various workout equipment. A predetermined work out plan may be selected by an individual from a number of plans with a variety of durations and fitness goal focuses. For example, one plan may emphasize improving the cardiovascular fitness of the user, whereas another plan may emphasize improving the muscle strength of the user. Other plans may emphasize improving a user's power, speed, quickness, agility, balance, or flexibility.

The following is claimed: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 a first set of exercise stations laid out in a first row, wherein the first set of exercise stations comprises strength equipment;   a second set of exercise stations laid out in a second row, wherein the second set of exercise stations comprises cardio equipment; and   a timer.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of exercise stations contains an equal number of stations as the second set of exercise stations. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the timer is configured to issue an alert at regular intervals, the alert indicating to a user of the system to switch from a first station to a second station. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the first station is part of the first set of exercise stations and the second station is part of the second set of exercise stations. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a display unit. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the display unit is configured to display a path by which a system user is to transition between the first set of exercise stations and the second set of exercise stations. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the display unit is configured to display a location of the system user relative to the path, the first set of exercise stations, and the second set of exercise stations. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the path is configured by a system operator. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the display unit is configured to display biometric data associated with a system user. 
     
     
         10 . A method comprising:
 selecting a series of exercise stations to be employed in a workout plan, wherein the series of exercise stations alternates between cardio stations and strength stations;   determining a time for each station in the series of exercise stations;   calculating a path between each station; and   displaying the path on a display device located in the proximity of the cardio stations and the strength stations.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein calculation the path comprises calculating a route that alternates between a first set of exercise stations and a second set of exercise stations adjacent to the first set of exercise stations. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising tracking a user along the path. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein tracking the user along the path comprises employing a timer configured to indicate a time for transitioning between a first station and a second station in the series of exercise stations. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein selecting the serious of exercise stations comprises selecting from a preconfigured workout plan. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein selecting the serious of exercise stations comprises customizing a workout plan.
