Abstract

A method and apparatus for monitoring exercise are disclosed. A user participating in a virtual exercise class utilises apparatus which comprises at least one sensor for monitoring a selected exercise parameter such as heart rate. The apparatus indicates a processor for generating performance data from the sensor output and an interface for transmitting performance data to a remote site. Typically, the apparatus is portable and communicates wirelessly with a PC of the user, to transmit the performance data to remote site via the Internet or another network. At the remote site, response data is generated based on the user's performance as against goals set by the user, a previous performance of the user, or the performance of other users. The response data is transmitted back to the user's PC and displayed. Thus, the user can participate in an exercise class simultaneously with other users who are all located at different sites.
