A navigation-assisted fitness device broadly comprising a location
determining component, a fitness monitoring component and a display. The
location determining component determines location data for a user of the
device as the user exercises. The fitness monitoring component is coupled
with the location determining component and calculates fitness
information for the user as the user exercises. The display displays the
fitness information and other information and data.The fitness
information may include an indication of the intensity level of the
user's exercise, the total amount of calories burned by the user during
the exercise, the amount of fat calories burned, and the amount of
carbohydrate calories burned. The device calculates the ratio of fat
calories burned versus carbohydrate calories burned based on the
intensity level. As the user increases or decreases the intensity level
of an exercise, the device recalculates and displays the ratio or
percentage of total calories burned from fat reserves and from
carbohydrate reserves.
