How to Use AI for Fitness (Without Losing Your Brain)

LLMs can’t lift the weight for you, but they can make planning your week a lot easier.

Simon talks tech, but don’t worry, this isn’t Silicon Valley hype or fearmongering. Just a grounded look at how to use AI to make your health and fitness easier, not weirder.

In this episode of Built for Life, you’ll learn:

  • Why large language models (LLMs) are just language calculators, not fortune tellers

  • Simon’s 4-part prompt formula that anyone can use (even if you’ve never typed “prompt” before)

  • Real-life fitness tasks you can hand off to an AI—like writing a workout, planning your groceries, or building a routine

  • Why hallucinations don’t mean the tool is useless (Google has bad results too, and we all still use that)

  • And why you still need your brain (but now you can go faster with it)

P.S. These show notes were written by ChatGPT. Simon only does the talking.

P.S.S Here’s a podcast I did on fitness and AI 2 years ago. Everything I do, I hope withstands the test of time. Fun to see how well predictions have held up. I didn’t review. I hope the content I’ve put online is aging gracefully.
