An easy-to-use and user-friendly apparatus is provided that displays
motivation for exercise to a user to allow the user to continue
comfortably exercising. An audio signal output processor reproduces audio
data and a music sound is thus emitted from a loudspeaker. The user
practices exercise, such as walking or jogging, in synchronization with
the tempo of the music sound. At the start of exercise, an exercise
information analyzer calculates an amount of exercise of the user based
on personal profile information relating to the body of the user,
including the body weight, the body height, age and sex of the user
received via a keyboard, and characteristic information, such as play
time and tempo of reproduced music data acquired via a communication I/F
and a controller. The controller outputs the amount of exercise to a
display to notify the user of the amount of exercise.
