Customizing Workout Recommendations

Abstract

A method for customizing workout recommendations may include receiving a target workout duration for a user, determining a target calorie burn for the user, and determining the recentness of each of the workouts completed by the user. This determination may include receiving physical movement data of the user from one or more electronic sensors configured to directly measure physical movement of the user, analyzing the physical movement data, and determining whether each of the workouts was completed based on the analysis of the physical movement data. The method may further include assigning a weight to each of the workouts based on the received target workout duration, the determined target calorie burn for the user, and the determined recentness of the workout being completed by the user, ranking the workouts based on their assigned weights, and generating a custom workout recommendation for the user based on the ranking of the workouts.
