One user uploaded clips of her home workouts to Gemini for feedback on her form in squats and stretches, finding it better at video than ChatGPT. When she tried sharing a long YouTube session instead, Gemini noted the instructor's form was excellent but said it needed to see her own video to critique her.
Here's a short video of me doing [EXERCISE] from [ANGLE, E.G. THE SIDE]. I'm a [BEGINNER / INTERMEDIATE] and I'm working on [GOAL]. Watch my form and tell me the two or three most important things to fix, in plain language, with a simple cue I can remember for each one. If the angle or lighting makes it hard to judge, say so.
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Film a short clip of yourself (not a video of someone else) from the side or front, in good light.
- Upload it to Gemini and ask for the top few fixes and an easy cue for each.
- Stop if anything hurts, and check with a qualified trainer if you’re unsure or have an injury.

Prepare for a doctor’s appointment with AI (without self-diagnosing)
A Cedars-Sinai primary care doctor says patients who use AI to organise symptoms and prepare questions often arrive better prepared. He recommends using it to prepare for the visit, not to replace it, and to avoid sharing identifying details.
I have an appointment about [SYMPTOM OR CONCERN]. Ask me up to 10 questions, one at a time, to help me organise what to tell my doctor. Then give me a short summary of my symptoms (when they started, what makes them better or worse) and the three most important questions to ask. Don't diagnose me.
Fit five-minute workouts between meetings with ChatGPT
Suddenly spending 12 to 14 hours a day in a small office, one LinkedIn user asked ChatGPT for a tiny routine of two exercises, three sets each, using just a floor mat and dumbbells, to fit into the five minutes between meetings. He paired it with a tick-box checklist and says that after about two and a half weeks it feels really good.
I'm stuck at my desk most of the day and have about [MINUTES] minutes between meetings. Using only [EQUIPMENT, E.G. A FLOOR MAT AND A PAIR OF DUMBBELLS], give me a mini routine of [NUMBER] exercises with sets and reps that's enough to feel it but not enough to get sweaty. I'm a [BEGINNER / FAIRLY ACTIVE]. Explain good form for each one in a sentence.
Make a beginner running plan with Claude
One runner made a simple running plan with Claude and, three weeks in, felt it was working, with a target of running 5k in about 30 minutes by week eight.
I'm a beginner runner. I can currently [E.G. RUN 1 MINUTE, WALK 2]. I'd like to run 5k in about [TARGET TIME] in [NUMBER] weeks. I can run [NUMBER] times a week. Make me a week-by-week plan with run/walk intervals, a rest day after each run, and signs that I should repeat a week rather than move on.
