Claim 20:
21. A system for controlling at least one variation of workout parameters of a user on an exercise machine for strength workout, in a cycle of workout progression steps comprising a plurality of workout progression steps in a set order, each workout progression step comprising a respective workout parameter, the system comprising:
at least one exercise machine for strength workout, comprising:
at least one movable element operable by the user to execute a strength exercise by handling a respective exercise load;
at least one electric motor operatively connected to said at least one movable element, the at least one electric motor being configured to exert, on the at least one movable element, a resistive force representative of an exercise load which the user may handle during execution of the exercise by actuating the at least one movable element; and
a data processing unit operatively connected to said at least one electric motor; and

a remote electronic calculator operatively connected to the at least one exercise machine for strength workout,
the remote electronic calculator comprising a data processing module,
the data processing module of the remote electronic calculator being configured to:
check, following authentication of the user on the exercise machine, that a trigger condition of a cycle of workout progression steps is met by comparing first pieces of time information of strength workout previously performed by the user with respective reference values and/or second pieces of information representative of strength workout statuses previously achieved by the user with respective reference values, said reference values being associated with the trigger condition of a cycle of workout progression steps;
if the trigger condition of a cycle of workout progression steps is met, acquire, a last workout progression step of the cycle of workout progression steps performed by the user prior to authentication on the exercise machine;
identify, as workout progression step to be performed, a successive workout progression step, in the set order provided by the cycle of workout progression steps, with respect to the last workout progression step of the cycle of workout progression steps performed by the user prior to authentication on the exercise machine and stored in the memory module of the remote electronic calculator;
set the workout parameters associated with the workout progression step to be performed, the workout progression step to be performed having associated a variation of at least one workout parameter of the user on the exercise machine for updating a previously set value of said at least one workout parameter of the user on the at least one exercise machine;
update the previously set value of said at least one workout parameter of the user on the exercise machine according to the variation of said at least one workout parameter of the user on the at least one exercise machine provided by the workout progression step to be performed; and
send, to a data processing unit of the exercise machine, the workout parameters of the user on the at least one exercise machine, comprising the updated value of the at least one workout parameter of the user on the at least one exercise machine.
