(JP11501233-W)      The exercise monitor monitors the progress of a user in an exercise regime, and stores parameter values relating to user exercise events monitored, and includes a physical parameter measurement unit (25) arranged to measure physical parameter data during an exercise event, and a preset value memory (32) arranged to store preset values for the physical parameter. A comparator (35) compares the preset value with the measured physical parameter data, and an indicator is arranged to indicate when the physical parameter data differs from the preset value by an amount greater than an allowable tolerance, to indicate to the user a required change in exercise intensity.    An exercise intensity input unit (11) is arranged to enable the input of data indicating the difficulty of a completed exercise, and a preset value adjustment unit (11) is arranged to enable alteration of the preset values in preset value memory in response to inputs operated by the user.    USE -   Monitoring progress of user in exercise regime.    ADVANTAGE -   Facilitates semi-automated monitoring of user's progress in exercise regimen.
