Systems and Methods to Generate a Customized Workout Routine

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.

         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:
