Pros<\/p>\n
\u201cIt provides structured, progressive workouts that would typically require expensive personal training sessions. Plus, the convenience is undeniable,\u201d says Aaron McCulloch, co-owner and director at YOUR Personal Training in Swansea. <\/p>\n
Cons<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout real-time form correction, people risk developing poor technique that could lead to injury. AI can\u2019t spot a rounded back, or ensure proper shoulder positioning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardio calculator <\/p>\n HumanGO monitors your heart rate and key session stats such as sleep, resting heart rate and HRV \u2014 heart rate variability, a key measure of whether your nervous system is in good equilibrium. It provides you with live feedback while you\u2019re running, swimming or cycling. Pros<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re a triathlete, it\u2019s really useful to have feedback on multiple disciplines, all without the need of an IRL coach,\u201d says Dr Nicolas Berger, senior lecturer and expert in exercise physiology at Teesside University. \u201cThis can help reinforce training consistency and progression.\u201d<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n \u201cAlgorithms cannot factor in wider life context: stress, illness or mental readiness,\u201d Berger says. \u201cThere\u2019s a chance it overpromises \u2014 an athlete-coach relationship requires trust and tailored psychological support, not just data.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2022 Lost weight lately? 21 rules to keep it off \u2014by the experts<\/a><\/p>\n 3. Digital diet plan<\/p>\n The Athlete\u2019s FoodCoach can create meal plans for you. You can sync it up with exercise tracking apps such as Strava in order to ensure you are fuelling up properly in order to train. Pros<\/p>\n \u201cThe integration between exercise and nutritional data provides insights that would typically require expensive sports science support, in theory aiding performance and recovery times,\u201d McCulloch says.<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n \u201cFood is about more than fuel for most of us, though. An app might ignore cultural preferences, social dining situations and the psychological aspects of eating \u2014 all of which can make advice like this difficult to adhere to in reality.\u201d<\/p>\n PHIL HACKETT FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE<\/p>\n 4. Ask ChatGPT <\/p>\n ChatGPT<\/a> is free and easy to use, with prompts such as \u201cDo I need to exercise today?\u201d returning suggestions on checking how your body feels, and information on how exercise can positively impact mental health. Pros<\/p>\n \u201cI co-authored a study on language learning models like ChatGPT in sport and we found that for the most part, they were safe and likely to be effective,\u201d says Carl James, assistant professor at the department of sports and health sciences at Hong Kong Baptist University. \u201cThe answers you get depend on the quality of the input prompt, but it\u2019s worth remembering that these services are continually adapting and learning.\u201d<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n \u201cGeneric advice lacks personalisation and context,\u201d McCulloch says. \u201cAI cannot assess your form, understand your injury history or account for your specific circumstances. Also, the output it provides is only as good as the input \u2014 simply asking it to \u2018Make me a diet plan\u2019 is too generic and simply won\u2019t cut it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AI fitness coaches are getting smarter and smarter: the latest generation of apps and wearable tech can advise…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242518,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[49,48,407,84],"class_list":{"0":"post-242517","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-fitness","11":"tag-health"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
