Abstract
A treadmill or other form of exercise equipment including a receptacle or other communication port adapted to provide a communication pathway to a cartridge or other removable memory and/or processing platform such that operation of electronics and software resident in some portion of the exercise equipment may be conveniently modified. In one particular form, the treadmill includes a receptacle in a console. A cartridge includes a memory and associated processing electronics. The cartridge is adapted to fit within the receptacle and engage communication ports or connections within the receptacle. Upon recognition of a cartridge within the receptacle, modification of some portion of the operation of the electronics, modifications to software within the exercise equipment, etc. may be undertaken as a function of whatever modification is provided by way of a new application, an addition to an existing application, a new subroutine, a modification of a subroutine, a control code, or some other treadmill electronics or software modification programming provided in the cartridge.
