Systems for correlating audio content to segments of exercise routines for improved performance

A system comprising:

• an electronic device including:
• a processor;
• an exercise tracker stored on a tangible memory, the exercise tracker configured to analyze an exercise routine of the user and to identify at least one drag portion of the exercise routine, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponding to an increased exertion from the user;
• and
• a song manager stored on the tangible memory, the song manager configured to instruct a music player to play a power song associated with the user such that the power song is played for the user for at least a portion of a time the user spends in the drag portion of the exercise routine,
• wherein the power song is correlated with increased exertion from the user;
• wherein without playing the power song, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponds to a reduced exertion as compared to the increased exertion;
• and
• wherein the song manager is further configured to analyze a performance metric of the user while the power song is playing to determine whether to declassify the power song as one of the power songs associated with the user.

A system comprising:

• an electronic device including:
• a processor;
• an exercise tracker stored on a tangible memory, the exercise tracker configured to analyze an exercise routine of the user and to identify at least one drag portion of the exercise routine, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponding to an increased exertion from the user;
• and
• a song manager stored on the tangible memory, the song manager configured to instruct a music player to play a power song associated with the user such that the power song is played for the user for at least a portion of a time the user spends in the drag portion of the exercise routine;
• wherein the power song is correlated with increased exertion from the user;
• wherein without playing the power song, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponds to a reduced exertion as compared to the increased exertion;
• and
• wherein the song manager is further configured to:
• instruct the music player to play a seed song;
• determine a reaction from the user to the seed song;
• and
• responsive to the reaction corresponding to the increased exertion from the user, identifying similar songs and classifying the seed song and the similar songs as power songs.

A system comprising:

• an electronic device including:
• a processor;
• an exercise tracker stored on a tangible memory, the exercise tracker configured to analyze an exercise routine of the user and to identify at least one drag portion of the exercise routine, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponding to an increased exertion from the user;
• and
• a song manager stored on the tangible memory, the song manager configured to instruct a music player to play a power song associated with the user such that the power song is played for the user for at least a portion of a time the user spends in the drag portion of the exercise routine;
• wherein the power song is correlated with increased exertion from the user;
• wherein without playing the power song, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponds to a reduced exertion as compared to the increased exertion;
• and
• wherein the song manager is further configured to classify a new song as a power song by:
• identifying a number of beats per minute associated with the new song;
• determining target steps per minute for the user during the drag portion of the exercise routine;
• and
• classifying the new song as the power song responsive to the beats per minute substantially corresponding to the target steps per minute.

A system comprising:

• an audio reproduction device for delivering audio to a user;
• a media player configured to play songs for the user by way of the audio reproduction device;
• an exercise tracker associated with the audio reproduction device, the exercise tracker configured to analyze an exercise routine of the user and to identify at least one drag portion of a prolonged period of exertion of the user during the exercise routine;
• and
• a song manager configured to instruct the media player to play a power song associated with the user during at least a portion of a duration of the at least one drag portion of the exercise routine, the power song being played based at least in part on information received from the exercise tracker, wherein the exercise tracker is configured to identify the at least one drag portion of the exercise routine from a route pre-entered into an exercise application, the power song being held in reserve for the at least one drag portion of the exercise routine.
