NOVELTY - The method involves posting an exercise video online (310), where the video contains a unique URL. A machine readable code i.e. quick response (QR) code, is created (320) for the unique URL. The machine readable code is attached (330) to an exercise machine. A device i.e. smartphone, having an application is used (340) to decode the attached machine readable code. The exercise video is displayed (350) on the device to a user. The exercise video is emulated (360) by the user on the exercise equipment. The exercise video is downloaded to the device before displaying the exercise video.    USE - Method for linking an exercise video to an exercise equipment e.g. weighted machine such as nautilus (RTM: not defined) branded workout machines, for assisting a user in a gym based on a machine readable code i.e. QR code (claimed). Can also be used for linking an exercise video to an exercise equipment based on universal product code (UPC) bar code, data matrix code and maxi code.    ADVANTAGE - The method enables displaying an example video associated with a specific machine that demonstrates proper technique for using the device such that the video comprises a certified personal trainer performing an exercise on the machine and complete audio tips regarding common mistakes or important aspects of the exercise, so that the user can emulate the personal trainer on the video, thus performing the exercise correctly without warm-bodied personal trainer in an inexpensive manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) an apparatus for processing exercise data    (2) a method for improving an exercise machine.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a flow diagram illustrating a method for improving exercise of a user.    Step for posting an exercise video online (310)    Step for creating a machine readable code (320)    Step for attaching machine readable code to exercise machine (330)    Step for using a device having an application to decode attached machine readable code (340)    Step for displaying exercise video on device to a user (350)    Step for emulating exercise video by user on exercise equipment (360)
