The invention comprises a method and/or an apparatus using a computer configured exercise system equipped with an electric motor to provide physical resistance to user motion in conjunction with means for sharing exercise system related data and/or user performance data with a secondary user, such as a medical professional, a physical therapist, a trainer, a computer generated competitor, and/or a human competitor. For example, the exercise system is used with a remote trainer to enhance exercise performance, with a remote medical professional for rehabilitation, and/or with a competitor in a competition, such as in a power/weightlifting competition or in a video game. The exercise system is optionally configured with an intelligent software assistant and knowledge navigator functioning as a personal assistant application.

1. A method for a primary user exercising in communication with a remote secondary user, comprising the steps of: the primary user using an exercise system, said exercise system comprising: a primary user interface configured for interaction with the primary user;an electric motor, said electric motor configured to provide a resistive force to said primary user interface;a controller communicatively coupled with said electric motor, said controller configured to control the resistive force supplied by said electric motor as a function of time; andmeans for communication with the secondary user, said means for communication communicatively coupled with said controller; andcommunicating output of said exercise system with the remote secondary user,said controller dynamically adjusting the resistive force supplied by said electric motor to a first resistive force when the primary user interface moves in a first direction; andsaid controller dynamically adjusting the resistive force supplied by said electric motor to a second resistive force when the user interface moves in a direction opposite said first direction, said first resistive force at least ten percent less than said second resistive force. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: transferring via a flexible material the resistive force supplied by the electric motor to the primary user interface. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary user comprises at least one of: a physical therapist;a coach;a game or contest opponent; anda trainer. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of: the secondary user remotely configuring the controller with a program. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of: the exercise system communicating historical use of the exercise system by the primary user to the remote secondary user. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: using a sensor to measure at least one of: force applied by the primary user to the primary user interface;a physiological measure of the primary user;acceleration of the primary user interface; andmotion of the primary user interface. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of: using output of said sensor, said controller dynamically adjusting the resistive force supplied by said electric motor within a repetition of movement of the primary user interface. 8. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of: using said electric motor to increase the resistive force when said sensor outputs data indicating positive acceleration of said primary user interface. 9. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of: decreasing the resistive force supplied by said electric motor when output of said sensor indicates sticking point reduced motion of said primary user interface. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: said controller dynamically adjusting, by at least twenty percent, the resistive force supplied by said electric motor during a repetition of movement of the primary user interface by the primary user. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said means for communication comprise at least one of: use of an internet;use of a cloud; anduse of a local area network. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: storing energy generated by use of said exercise system into a battery. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: using said controller and output of a heart rate monitor to vary the resistive force supplied by said electric motor to maintain a heart rate of the primary user in a target range. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: said exercise system responding to a verbal control command. 15. A method for a primary user exercising in communication with a remote secondary user, comprising the steps of: the primary user using an exercise system, said exercise system comprising: a primary user interface configured for interaction with the primary user;an electric motor, said electric motor configured to provide a resistive force to said primary user interface;a controller communicatively coupled with said electric motor, said controller configured to control the resistive force supplied by said electric motor as a function of time; andmeans for communication with the secondary user, said means for communication communicatively coupled with said controller; andcommunicating output of said exercise system with the remote secondary user,wherein said controller dynamically maintains the resistive force supplied by said electric motor within twenty percent of an iso-inertial force as a function of time within one-half of a repetition by adjusting the resistive force as a function of monitored acceleration of said primary user interface.
