Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for television program optimization based upon exercise by a first user, the method comprising: obtaining, by a processor, historic exercise information indicative of exercise that had been performed by the first user; obtaining, by the processor, historic television program information indicative of at least one television program that had been viewed by the first user while the first user had been performing exercise; analyzing by the processor, based upon the obtained historic television program information, a content of the at least one television program that had been viewed by the first user, wherein the analysis provides at least one content characteristic; correlating, by the processor, the at least one content characteristic with at least one exercise characteristic, wherein the at least one exercise characteristic is based upon the historic exercise information; storing, by the processor, the correlated content characteristic and exercise characteristic in a memory; obtaining, by the processor, current exercise information indicative of exercise that is currently being performed by the first user; obtaining, by the processor, current television program information indicative of a current television program that is currently being viewed by the first user while the first user performs the current exercise; and executing by the processor, based upon: (a) the stored correlated content characteristic and stored exercise characteristic; (b) the current exercise information; and (c) the current television program information, at least one of: (i) suggesting a change to the first user of at least one attribute of the current television program that is being viewed by the first user while the first user performs the current exercise; (ii) suggesting a change to the first user of at least one attribute of an exercise device that the first user is currently using; (iii) changing at least one attribute of the current television program that is being viewed by the first user while the first user performs the current exercise; and (iv) changing at least one attribute of an exercise device that the first user is currently using, and obtaining, by the processor, the stored correlated content characteristic and exercise characteristic associated with the first user; obtaining, by the processor, current exercise information indicative of exercise that is currently being performed by a second user; obtaining, by the processor, current television program information indicative of a current television program that is currently being viewed by the second user while the second user performs the current exercise; and executing by the processor, based upon: (a) the obtained stored correlated content characteristic and exercise characteristic associated with the first user; (b) the current exercise information associated with the second user; and (c) the current television program information associated with the second user, at least one of: (i) suggesting a change to the second user of at least one attribute of the current television program that is being viewed by the second user while the second user performs the current exercise; (ii) suggesting a change to the second user of at least one attribute of an exercise device that the second user is currently using; (iii) changing at least one attribute of the current television program that is being viewed by the second user while the second user performs the current exercise; and (iv) changing at least one attribute of an exercise device that the second user is currently using.
