Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for intelligent self-calibration of target load thresholds for users of exercise machines is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by one or more processing devices, a bone geometry of a bone in a portion of a body of a user, where said portion is going to be exercised by the user performing an exercise on an exercise machine. The method also includes determining, using the bone geometry, a strain on the bone in the portion of the body of the user such that the strain triggers osteogenesis, determining a target load threshold to be added by the user to the exercise machine during the exercise to achieve the strain that triggers osteogenesis, and, while the user performs the exercise on the exercise machine, causing the target load threshold to be represented on a user interface of a computing device.
