How AI can help you create a fitness plan

Looking to get into shape? The best way to do it, of course, is with consistent exercise and healthy eating habits. But how? One great tool to help you get in shape is training with the help of AI. Learn how AI can help with training by providing workout recommendations, performance tracking, and more.

How can AI training help you achieve your fitness goal?

An effective training strategy helps you reach your fitness goals with a concrete timeline, trackable milestones, and appropriate intensity. If you’re new to the gym, it can be difficult to create a training strategy on your own. Or if you’ve been going to the gym consistently but have hit a plateau, it may be frustrating to figure out how to start progressing again. Turn to AI for help with your training. AI can provide tailored nutritional, fitness, and lifestyle suggestions to help you reach your goals.

Here are a few ways you can leverage AI to become your best self:

Tailored workout recommendations

AI can provide workout recommendations that fit your mobility and strength level, in concert with your fitness goals. Say you want to increase the length of your runs, so you can progress from a daily mile run to a 5K. Give your running history, such as the distance and duration, to the AI application. The AI tool can analyze your preferences, current fitness level, past runs, and other individual metrics. The algorithm can then generate a training routine with short-term goals, benchmarks, and timelines. AI tools can tailor workout recommendations to a myriad of fitness goals to help you develop workout routines that get you closer to your desired fitness results.

For example, if you’re a first timer at the gym and want to build muscle, give AI a prompt such as, “Create a two-week long fitness schedule for building muscle. Make it suitable for a beginner.”

Performance tracking

Once you’ve established your goals and workout routine, track your workout performance and goals with AI. You can detail information on your workouts—such as your exercises, length, and frequency, and AI systems will retain this information. Additionally, this can provide insights on how to optimize your workouts by illuminating patterns and trends.

For example, provide AI information on your last ten runs, including distance, speed, and time of day. You can then prompt AI to, “Provide insights and trends on my most recent runs.”

Healthy recipes

How you eat in the kitchen is just as important for your health, if not even more, than working out. Nutrition impacts energy levels, muscle growth and repair, and stamina, which are all crucial for a quality workout and to achieve your fitness goals. Consequently, fitness and nutrition should be viewed in concert with each other to achieve your goals.

Ask AI for help with finding healthy recipes that meet your dietary needs. For example, if you’re trying to gain muscle, you can prompt AI to “List high-protein, plant-based meal options for a post-workout dinner.”

Stay disciplined and motivated in your fitness journey, and you can create healthy fitness habits for a lifetime. For more ways AI can help you achieve your personal goals, learn more from everyday AI.
