Custom exercise video website

USPTO Application #: 20090075782
Title: Custom exercise video website
Abstract: The custom exercise video website implements a computerized method for development of a personal fitness/wellness training regimen that is uniquely tailored to an individual user's needs. The website provides a user interface that can accept user inputs related to the user's desire for physical therapy and/or exercise of a body part, muscle group or series of muscle groups. Based on the user inputs, system processing creates a multimedia playlist linking discrete video clips together to form a unique exercise program having clips that have been sequentially ordered by the user. A user-selectable running time is also provided. The website provides an option to add a user-specified music track to the exercise video. The music volume will automatically adjust down when the audio from the clips is on. The video is formatted in a digital file that can be played by a variety of media players. (end of abstract)

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/960,116, filed Sep. 17, 2007.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to personal exercise routine development and, more particularly, relates to a custom exercise video website that permits a user to download exercise video demonstrations with audio instruction and user-selectable musical accompaniment to a PC, iPod® (ipod is a registered trademark of Apple, Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.), MP3, or other media playback device.

2. Description of the Related Art

Exercise routines, such as aerobic exercise routines, strength training routines, and flexibility training routines are available from books, television, DVD's and the Internet. Exercise clubs and gyms provide even more specific exercise opportunities. Following routines provided in books, television, the Internet, clubs, or gyms can often improve an individual's level of fitness. However, these routines are usually predetermined and directed to broad categories of individuals. For example, an exercise routine, such as a strength training program, may be directed to intermediate weight training students and may meet the needs of a twenty-five year old male, but it will seldom meet the specific needs of a twenty-five year old male who has very aggressive weight training goals.

Routines that are not tailored to an individual's needs often do not help the individual efficiently meet his/her goals. A workout plan from a book also does not provide the motivation that comes from a custom video demonstration designed to address a specific fitness regimen. An individual who is unable to efficiently meet his/her goals due to a lack of a customized exercise program is likely to become discouraged and discontinue his/her exercise routine.

Thus a customized exercise video website solving the aforementioned problems is desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The custom exercise video website embodies a computer-implemented method for development of a personal fitness/wellness training regimen that is uniquely tailored to an individual user's needs. The website provides a user interface that can accept user inputs related to the user's desire for physical therapy and/or exercise of a body part, muscle group or series of muscle groups. Based on the user inputs, system processing creates a video playlist linking discrete exercise video clips together to form a unique exercise video consistent with the user's abilities, desires, and training goals. A user-selectable running time is also provided. The website provides an option to add a user specified music track to the exercise video. The music volume will automatically adjust down when the audio from the clips is on. The video is formatted in a digital file that can be played by a variety of media players.

These and other features of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
