Please note that the information below, and any information that you get from using AI, ChatGPT and Google Bard are for informational purposes only. I am not a doctor, and AI cannot replace the advice of a doctor or certified personal trainer. Brainstorm with AI and check with your doctor before beginning anything new. Additionally, partner referral links are shared in this article. These are for products and services that I use throughout my own healthy lifestyle.

What Is AI?

AI refers to any type of machine or computer simulated computation, information processing or information creation, versus that of actual humans. You may use it already in your life. Alexa, Siri, customer service chat bots, facial recognition and other frequently used services all use AI.

AI has been around for a long time, but in recent years technology and user interfaces have advanced far enough to let anyone with a computer put AI to use is many different ways.

The most common AI websites you will hear about are ChatGPT and Google Bard. ChatGPT has a version that is free to use, and a more advanced- you might say smarter- version that you pay for. Google Bard is obviously part of google, and it is currently free to use.

There are so many other AI tools on the market though. In fact AI is infused in a lot of every day services these days.

My favorite weight loss app uses AI chat bots as an additional layer of support, paired with live coaches, food logging and education.

The coolest AI tool that I found recently is this awesome AI Calendar App. Imagine this incredible app, powered by cutting-edge artificial intelligence, supercharging your productivity by a whopping 25%! And the best part? It's yours for just 62 cents a day – less than the cost of a cup of coffee! This nifty tool doesn't just manage your tasks and meetings; it crafts a personalized, efficiency-boosting schedule. I even told it to help me fit more fitness and activity into my daily life. AI for the WIN!

But I digress.

Recently I wrote and article all about using AI for Weight Loss. But we hardly scratched the surface of ways to use is specifically for exercise!

Let's check out ways to use Chat GPT, Google Bard and other AI tools for your fitness routine.

How Can I Use AI For Exercise & Working Out?

The most basic way you can use AI to help in your exercise routine is to create really specific prompts to allow the AI to give you exactly what you need.

Essentially, you can use ChatGPT to make custom workouts for your exact needs! 

As I said above, though, AI is NOT a doctor or a trainer. Always check with your doctor or trainer before starting a new exercise routine.

Okay so here is what you do.

I'll give you the “Wacky Mad Libs” version of a very general AI prompt that you can use, then we will go through examples for each fitness level, to get you started.

Open up a new chat on ChatGPT or Google Bard (or try the same prompt on both!).

In the prompt window type in the following prompt, selecting or adding your own details. Whether you are a true beginner and have no equipment or have been exercising your whole life, AI can recommend something for you.

You are the best personal trainer (or instructor in your specific field of exercise). I am a (number) years old (man or woman) who is at a (beginner, intermediate, advanced) level of fitness. I have done (name types of exercises, if any) for exercise over the past (duration of weeks, months or years). (If you have a current exercise routine, describe it here, listing the number of days and how long each workout is) is what I have been doing recently. I have (no equipment, or a gym membership, track, pool, bike and bike path, other specific equipment) available to me. I have (list any injuries, limitations or health conditions). Give me a (weekly, daily, monthly) workout routine to help me (current goal). I would like to exercise (number) days and have (number) minutes each day. 

Hit enter and see what it says. Feel free to tweak it, give it feedback or resubmit to see a different answer.

ChatGPT Prompts for Fitness at Every Level

Here are several different prompt ideas at each level to help get you started or inspire different ways of using AI for working out.

You will always want to tell ChatGPT “who to be,” like you are a world renowned yoga instructor. You will always want to tell the chatbot about yourself as well. List your relevant facts, abilities, limitations, etc. Then you can change up what you are asking.
