Abstract
An exercise machine comprises an actuator, a motor coupled to the actuator, and a motor controller coupled to the motor. The motor controller is configured to receive an indication of a characteristic of a workout on the actuator, wherein the workout comprises a next exercise movement, determine a suggested weight for the next exercise movement, based at least in part on a physiological analysis of the workout characteristic, and control torque of the motor for the next exercise movement, based at least in part on the suggested weight.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- receiving an indication of a characteristic of a workout, wherein the workout comprises a next exercise movement, wherein the characteristic comprises workout intensity, wherein the indication comprises a flag indicating that a past exercise movement comprises a spotted exercise movement, and wherein the past exercise movement is not the previous exercise movement;
- determining a suggested weight for the next exercise movement, based at least in part on a physiological analysis of the workout characteristic, wherein the physiological analysis comprises evaluating the indication of workout intensity associated with a previous exercise movement against a threshold;
- and
- controlling torque of a motor included in an exercise machine associated with the next exercise movement, based at least in part on the suggested weight.
