ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus includes an input device, a communication circuit connected to a communication link, and a display device. A control circuit controls the communication circuit to contact a computer connected to the communication link in response to exerciser input to the input device and controls the display device to display mental activity data such as sports scores, stock prices, or a weather report received from the contacted computer while the exerciser exercises to thereby provide a mental activity for the exerciser.
