If you use this Cycling Pusher that developed by Fabien Piuzz (the developer of this project), it will be very easy to keep your exercise routine just by logging your workouts.
He’s using RunKeeper to store and display the workout data. They offer a token-based API which [Reefab] implemented in his Arduino sketch. The hardware to grab data from the exercise bike is quite simple to set up. A rare-earth magnet was added to the fly-wheel with a reed switch positioned next it in order to measure the number and speed of rotations. This is exactly how a consumer bicycle computer works, needing just one accurate measurement corresponding to how far the bike travels with each revolution of that wheel.
In addition to the networked-logging feature, the author included a character display so you can follow your speed and distance data during the workout.
