Synchronizing video workout programs across multiple devices

A method to synchronize a video workout program across multiple devices, the method comprising:

• communicatively coupling a server in a cloud network to an exercise machine that includes a first display through a first network connection;
• communicatively coupling the server in the cloud network to a second display through a second network connection;
• the server providing the video workout program to the exercise machine for execution at the exercise machine to enable a user to perform at least a portion of a workout of the video workout program on the exercise machine;
• the server keeping a state of the video workout program during the execution of the video workout program at the exercise machine based on inputs from the exercise machine;
• the server synchronizing the second display with the first display of the exercise machine based on the state;
• receiving input indicative of the user performing at least a second portion of the workout off of the exercise machine;
• and
• updating workout data included in the state to reflect performance of the second portion of the workout off of the exercise machine, wherein at least some of the workout data is displayed on the first display of the exercise machine.

A method to keep state of a video workout program, the method comprising:

• communicatively coupling a server in a cloud network to an exercise machine through a first network connection;
• communicatively coupling the server in the cloud network to a heart rate monitor through a second network connection;
• the server providing the video workout program to the exercise machine for execution at the exercise machine to enable a user to perform at least a portion of a workout of the video workout program on the exercise machine;
• the server keeping a state of the video workout program during the execution of the video workout program at the exercise machine based on inputs from the exercise machine and the heart rate monitor;
• the server adaptively scaling the video workout program based on the state;
• receiving input indicative of the user performing at least a second portion of the workout off of the exercise machine;
• and
• updating workout data included in the state to reflect performance of the second portion of the workout off of the exercise machine, wherein at least some of the workout data is displayed on a display of the exercise machine.
