Abstract
An exercise apparatus includes the combination of a multipurpose exercise machine capable of allowing a person to perform a number of different anaerobic exercises thereon and an aerobic exercise machine such as a stair climber, treadmill, bicycle or the like associated therewith. A program computer is mounted on one of the machines so as to be readily accessible to the person exercising. The computer includes a memory which has a plurality of exercise programs stored therein which can be selected by the user. Once a particular program is selected, the computer causes a display to advise the user as to which particular exercise is to be performed and for how long. The computer indicates the conclusion of the particular exercise time and the beginning of a transition time where the user is to move on to the next exercise which is then timed and the process continues throughout the exercise program. The transition times can be selectively shortened or lengthened to accommodate beginner, intermediate or advanced users and a plurality of displays provide information to the user relating to his or her exercise program.
