I'm still checking over ChatGPT's work, but by feeding info to it piece by piece, I persuaded it not to lock up (although I did need to hit "refresh" several times), and it produced a series of PDFs for my exercise program—through the end of this year. I'm checking through its work, and I'll reformat the PDFs into a single Google Doc, and the chart/checklist will become something of a personal trainer for me, with something for me to do every weekday.
I realized that my original chart, designed months ago and interrupted by my trip to the States this past spring, was too haphazard: I had smooshed together too many types of exercises each day. The new chart is more modest, with only two to three types of exercise each day, and a nice, comfortable, two-hour block in which to do them. If we were at a point in software development where I could install a foul-mouthed AI drill instructor programmed to watch over me while I followed my bespoke program, I would download that AI in a flash. I'm imagining a DI who is some sort of freakish cross between Louis Gossett Jr. and R. Lee Ermey, swearing creatively at me, verbally kicking my ass through each day's routine.
More on this once everything's been checked and organized. Meanwhile, I've got my coding lesson at 8 in the morning. Wish me luck.
Look up smart fitness mirrors like the Magic Mirror. Not sure they'll have a drill sergeant to bark at you, but they definitely have a wide range of AI personal trainers.
ReplyDeleteThanks; I looked up a few. Most of them are out of my price range. If I had my original income, I wouldn't hesitate to buy such a mirror, but for now, I'm just going to old-school it with a program and checklist. The smart mirrors do look interesting, though. I just wonder whether, like Samsung Smart TVs, they keep collecting data when you think they're off. I might need to buy a mirror-sized towel to cover the thing. Or a bedsheet.
DeleteGlad you got this sorted.
