Abstract: Fitness apparatus output can be synchronized with media content that features an instructor conducting a workout session. An instructor conducts a workout session while using a recording device to generate media data, and while a computing device executes a client application to generate command data for controlling aspects of output provided by a fitness apparatus. The media data and the command data generated by the instructor can be transmitted to user computing devices over a network. Users may consume the media data on-demand, or as a live stream while the instructor is conducting the workout session. Operations specified in the command data are driven by the timestamps in the media data to synchronize the output provided by a user's fitness apparatus with the visible cues and/or audible cues of the instructor in the media content. The intensity level of the fitness apparatus output may also be customized to the user.

Abstract: An electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) suit having electrodes affixed thereto is disclosed. The EMS suit may include a vest portion comprising a left front portion, a right front portion, and a back portion, as well as a processor and memory storing pulse parameter settings. In some embodiments, the left front portion has a first pair of electrodes on a first channel, and the right front portion has a second pair of electrodes on a second channel. In some embodiments, the back portion has a third pair of electrodes on a third channel and positioned in a left half of the back portion, as well as a fourth pair of electrodes on a fourth channel and positioned in a left half of the back portion. During operation of the EMS suit, electrical impulses are delivered via the pairs of electrodes in accordance with the pulse parameter settings to elicit muscle contraction.
