Developments in sophisticated mobile physiological sensors have presented many novel opportunities for monitoring coaching of individuals. In this work, we investigate the ability to utilize physiological data to recognize the state ofa user while exercising. We discuss recognition of user state using data suchas heart rate, respiration rate, and activity level. We also discuss the development of a motivational agent which utilizes the physiological data to help encourage a user during an exercise routine.
