Abstract

Exercise apparatuses, components for exercise apparatuses and related systems and methods are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, an exercise apparatus includes a frame, structure associated with the frame that is moveable relative to the frame in a predefined pattern, a console and at least one display associated with the console. A processor is in communication with the at least one display and controls both an operational parameter of the exercise apparatus and an interactive game. The game may be manipulated, at least in part, based on selective actuation of an input device by a user and, at least in part, by an aspect of an operational parameter of the exercise apparatus. Thus, for example, if an individual is exercising at a high level, as may be exhibited by a speed measurement, the game play may be altered to make the interactive game easier in some manner.
