DETAILED DESCRIPTION These problems and others are addressed by the present invention which comprises a system and method for developing workouts and tracking compliance by a person using the system with the various workouts produced by the system.
In a first aspect, the invention comprises a system for automatically generating a workout which system includes a processor having an input and an output, a memory device operably connected to the processor, an input device operably connected to the processor input, and a display device operably connected to the processor output.
The system is configured to display a set of workout instructions based on input comprising a plurality of physical characteristics of an individual, the results of a physical assessment of the individual on a series of test exercises, and a list of exercise equipment available to the individual.
Another aspect of the invention comprises a method of automatically generating a workout for a user that involves obtaining health information of the user, measuring a performance of the user on a series of test exercises and identifying a plurality of exercise devices available to the user.
A workout plan is then prepared based on the health information and the plurality of exercise devices available to the user.
Workouts are automatically generated based on the workout plan and the performance of the individual on the series of test exercises.
A further aspect of the invention comprises a method of monitoring compliance by a plurality of individuals with a personal exercise program assigned to each of the plurality of individuals that involves providing in a database a record for each of the plurality of individuals, each record including an individual identifier field, a goal number of workouts per unit time period field, and an actual number of workouts per unit time period field.
A numerical value representing a goal number of workouts per unit time is entered into the goal number of workouts per unit time field of each record, and a numerical value representing an actual number of workouts completed is entered into the actual number of workouts per unit time field of each record
