Fitness has significant impacts on health and well-being. However, it can be challenging for people to maintain a fitness routine. These challenges may include a lack of time and motivation, stress and emotional hurdles, or unrealistic goal setting. Also, fitness and exercise are extremely important for good health for people who sit at desks and computers for long. 

This is just one of many areas where Microsoft Copilot steps in to help.

How to use Copilot for Fitness Training

1. Personalization

You can ask CoPilot to suggest exercises based on your needs and challenges.  Perform these actions with specific prompts of what you need.

For example:

Copilot provides the exercises in texts, explaining how to do it. This can be a problem as exercise is easily done with videos. So, to get videos specifically, input it in the prompt and it suggests a video from YouTube. From CoPilot, you can watch the videos and perform the exercises.

2. Health Challenges.

If you have been diagnosed with a medical challenge and you need a specific exercise, you can ask CoPilot to suggest exercises based on it.

For individuals who experience back pain, incontinence, and mothers who just gave birth, pelvic floor exercises are awesome. CoPilot provides the exercises and how to do them.

It also suggests the best time to do the exercises. You can try this with other exercises you need. If you experience constant back, and neck pain, you can ask for minimal exercises to do.

Specifically, you can watch videos of exercises and practice directly from CoPilot

Setting Fitness Goals

Fitness goals that are too broad in scope are frustrating. Below is an example of a specific and measurable fitness goal.

1. Instead of saying “I want to get fit,” say something like, “I want to lose 10 pounds in the next three months.
2. I want to do 20 push-ups without stopping.

Copilot can help you achieve this. These are specific and measurable.

CoPilot can help you provide personalized workout routines and nutrition advice, besides motivational tips. You only need to include details about your present level of fitness, your preferences, and any limitations (like injuries).

Utilizing CoPilot for workout planning

You need to provide the necessary details so Copilot can assist you with workout planning. The details below should be provided.

1. Fitness level
2. Goals – For example, weight loss, and muscle gain.
3. Available equipment, and any specific preferences you have (e.g., cardio vs. strength training).
4. Information about your fitness background, any injuries or limitations, and the time you can dedicate to workouts.

Based on this input, Copilot can generate a customized plan that includes exercises, sets, reps, and rest intervals.

Adapting plans based on feedback

CoPilot will tune your workout plan according to your feedback. If you find some exercises too hard, or overly simple, tell CoPilot about it.

This is how Copilot keeps the routine effective and enjoyable.

Limitations of CoPilot with Fitness

• CoPilot currently doesn’t time and offers notifications for exercises. An alternative for this is to set a reminder in your calendar to do the exercises. As for timing, you can use your smartphone’s timer for the length of the exercises.

Conclusion 

CoPilot also provides support and boost for fitness through workout tracking. Integrate CoPilot into your regular routine to get individualized assistance on your health and wellness journey!
