Existing physical fitness systems are often based on kinesiology. Recently Integral Kinesiology has been proposed, which is the integral kinematics of body movement. In this paper, we apply integral kinesiology to the bench press, commonly used in weight and resistance training. We show that an integral kinesiology feedback system decreases error and increases time spent lifting in the user. We also developed proofs of concept in aerobic training, to create a social physical activity experience. We propose that sharing real time integral kinematic measures between users enhances the integrity and maintenance of weight, resistance, or aerobic training.
