Abstract
A control system for an exercise apparatus has an input mechanism for setting a goal for exercise in measurable units, a display for displaying the goal in the measurable units, and an initiation mechanism. Upon setting the goal, the goal in measurable units is displayed in the display, upon activating the initiation mechanism the display begins to decrement in the measurable units, and upon reaching zero, the original goal is displayed and then increments in the measurable units.
Claims10
A control system for an exercise apparatus, comprising:
- an input mechanism for setting a goal for exercise in measurable units;
- a display for displaying the goal in the measurable units;
- and
