Chat GPT is an AI chatbot that is used to generate natural-sounding responses to prompts that are typed. It uses natural language processing and deep learning technologies to provide accurate and quick replies to users. It can do various tasks such as summarizing books, to generating tasks and workout plans. In this article, the focus is on ChatGPT’s ability to generate a workout plan that can be safe and effective.
In order to assess its ability, we must look at how the ChatGPT response to common requests for workout plans compare to plans available on current workout apps. In the example of a basic workout for beginners, the plan provided by ChatGPT was similar to one you would find on the J&J Official 7 Minute Workout app. The plan included time allotments for cardio, resistance training, warm-ups, and cool-downs, along with a helpful side note to increase duration slowly over time and stay hydrated.
For athletes more experienced in their workout routine, the chatbot provided plans for cardio, core, and resistance training with numerous exercise choices. It even provided advice for rest and recovery by recommending stretching gently and avoiding over-training.
In the event of an injury, the ChatGPT provided a well-rounded workout plan that advised caution, listened to a healthcare provider, and included low impact activities.
The ChatGPT was also able to generate a running plan that was detailed while answering questions about personal fitness level and training goals. However, it lacked in the area of offering specific pacing information such as helping to run a 10K in under an hour.
Please note the importance of consulting a physician or physical therapist when trying out new workouts and exercises.
For strength training, ChatGPT provided a plan including bodyweight and dumbbell exercises. It even provided detailed instructions on how to do certain exercises like deadlifts with guidance on the stance, grip and breathing techniques.
ChatGPT is a great tool for those looking for a quick and easy reference for a workout routine. It provides basic plans for beginners and more experienced athletes, along with advice for rest and recovery. It also gives detailed guidelines for exercises for strength training. That said, it does lack some detailed information and cannot substitute for personal health advice. Users should use ChatGPT to provide supplemental support for their fitness goals.
J&J Official 7 Minute Workout is the app mentioned in this article. It is owned by Johnson & Johnson, one of the leading healthcare companies in the world with products that span the gamut from pharmaceuticals to consumer goods. It provides tailored, personalized workout advice to all its users.
Additionally, ChatGPT is a product of OpenAI, which is a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence research laboratory co-founded by Elon Musk, formerly of Tesla Motors. OpenAI is dedicated to advancing the thinking and use of AI technologies in several areas from robotics to healthcare. Elon Musk’s vision is to make AI an accessible and reliable tool for businesses, entrepreneurs and inventors.
