Patent ID: 7510508

Claim:
A portable recording device configured for recording achievement of resistance training objectives with at least two resistance training parameters in connection with a resistance training workout; the device adapted to: receive a resistance training workout comprising a series of sets for at least two different resistance training exercises, each set having resistance training objectives with at least two resistance training parameters; and record the performance of the resistance training objectives or deviations from the resistance training objectives by: STEP A) initializing a current set as a first set from a previously received resistance training workout for a series of sets for at least two different resistance training exercises; STEP B) presenting: a current resistance training exercise for the current set; a specified number of repetitions for the current set and a specified resistance level for the current set; STEP C) receiving from the user a reported performance for the current set through a confirmation of performance of the specified number of repetitions at the specified resistance level for the current set; ELSE receiving the deviation in performance of the specified number of repetitions, if any; and receiving the deviation in the specified resistance level, if any; STEP D) IF the current set is not a last set in the previously received resistance training workout for a series of sets for at least two different resistance training exercises, THEN setting a next set in the series of previously received resistance training workout for a series of sets for at least two different resistance training exercises as the current set AND GOTO STEP B; ELSE the previously received resistance training workout is complete.
