Abstract :
Facilities for travel are developing conveniently in recent years. A lot of people do not exercise sufficiently in daily life.

Then, this paper shows the audio advising system and method to keep a moderate exercise with heart rate (HR). Additionally, a user is able to choose the exercise level from light exercise to heavy exercise.
