NOVELTY - The system has a computer-readable medium e.g. hard disk drive, provided within a wireless internet device (WID) (12) e.g. web-enabled mobile phone, and comprising a set of instructions for accepting an exercise parameter e.g. nutrition parameter, via a port. Visual data captured by a camera is accepted. Data corresponding to the accepted exercise parameter and the visual data are transmitted to an internet server via another port using standard internet protocols e.g. broadband wireless protocols, where the data transmission is performed wirelessly along a portion of a communication path.    USE - Wireless internet system for connection with a satellite communications network to monitor exercise or fitness of a subject e.g. person, using a wireless internet device (WID) such as web-enabled mobile phone, global positioning system (GPS) device and accelerometer, and an exercise monitor such as heart rate monitor, respiration rate monitor, accelerometer, blood pressure monitor, pedometer, GPS device, body weight scale, body fat gauge, biofeedback device, treadmill, rowing machine, exercise bicycle and stepper (all claimed). Can also be used for a personal digital assistant (PDA), palm computer, handheld computer, tablet computer, notebook computer, laptop computer and hybrid device.    ADVANTAGE - The system allows wireless access to and from a wide variety of exercise or health-related instruments and devices while maintaining the capability of connecting to other devices. The method enables provision of significant application functionality on a back-end, thus reducing processing capabilities on the wireless internet device (WID), and hence enhancing user interface.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a method for monitoring an exercise parameter using a wireless internet device    (2) a computer program having a set of instructions to perform a method for monitoring an exercise parameter using a wireless internet device.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of a wireless health-monitoring apparatus connected to a point of a wireless antenna.    Wireless internet device (12)    Computer (26)    Keyboard (30)    Touch screen (36)    Computer (37)
