Claim:
1. An exercise machine, comprising: an exercise machine having a frame, a carriage movable upon the frame and a resistance adjustment device connected to the carriage, wherein the carriage is movable between a first end and a second end of the exercise machine along a longitudinal axis and wherein the resistance adjustment device provides a resistance level to the carriage along at least a first direction of movement of the carriage; a biometric monitoring device adapted to be connected to an exerciser, wherein the biometric monitoring device is configured to monitor a biometric state of the exerciser; and a control unit in communication with the resistance adjustment device of the exercise machine and the biometric monitoring device, wherein the control unit receives biometric data from the biometric monitoring device relating to the biometric state of the exerciser and wherein the control unit sends a control signal to the resistance adjustment device to adjust the resistance level of the resistance adjustment device based on the biometric data received; wherein the resistance adjustment device is comprised of a plurality of resistance devices that are selectively connectable to the carriage, wherein the resistance adjustment device increases a number of the plurality of resistance devices of the resistance adjustment device that are connected to the carriage when the control unit signals an increase in the resistance level and wherein the resistance adjustment device decreases a number of the plurality of resistance devices of the resistance adjustment device that are connected to the carriage when the control unit signals a decrease in the resistance level.
