Artificial intelligence stands to redefine every aspect of our world—communicating, manufacturing, e-commerce, and frontiers we have yet to imagine. Now, with the accessibility of AI-powered fitness tools and personalized training, we’re witnessing a new era of exercise.
By collecting data as you exercise, advanced AI can customize fitness plans, track progress, and offer real-time feedback to adjust your workouts. It can be personalized to fit your goals—whether you’re new to fitness, intend to lose weight, increase muscle mass, or simply stay in shape. Detailed health insights also help prevent common workout faux pas, like adjusting posture and positioning, and outline recovery plans for pre-existing injuries.
While wearable technology like Fitbits aren’t considered AI, the devices are increasingly incorporating AI features through Google’s technology, allowing them to analyze user data and provide personalized health insights and coaching. Ditto for Apple—their watchOS and phones feature AI-powered upgrades that can track and deliver health metrics.
For those with complex schedules, AI apps can deliver tailored workout plans at any hour of the day. Apps like Fitbod are highly customizable, featuring easy-to-follow instructional videos and a stream of new exercises. Others like Kiwi Fitness include game-like features and challenges to keep workouts fun for beginners.
The AI landscape is changing almost daily, unveiling new technology at lightning speed. More than just a trend, AI-powered fitness is here to stay. Professional athletes have been using these tools for years, taking advantage of individualized training programs to fine-tune their skills, ensuring they’re one step above the competition. When it comes to integrating AI into your fitness goals, the possibilities are endless.
