The other day, I was playing with my little 3-year-old nephew, and he pointed to the robot vacuum cleaner at the other end of the room in amazement. “Robot?” he inquired, which made me smile. The rapidly advancing technology we have today is pretty impressive when you really think about it.
OpenAI has launched the new ChatGPT-5 with improved writing, coding, reasoning, and more. The latest intelligence model could change our fitness routines, and many gym buffs are saying it could even replace your coach, providing motivation, meal plans, workout schedules, and beyond.
I was immediately interested and a little surprised when I heard that ChatGPT-5 can do so much when it comes to fitness. The best part is that it’s more trustworthy and smarter than ever before. This technology is so much more than just chat interactions, and almost feels like a virtual assistant or digital fitness coach when you consider the capabilities.
Unlike your personal trainer or fitness coach, who needs to sleep and isn’t always around for immediate responses, ChatGPT-5 is available 24/7 for workout ideas or advice on recovery. Here’s a taste of what this AI model can do:
The latest model is available for free to all users, with some usage limits. Paid users will have higher usage caps.
ChatGPT-5 creates workout plans tailored to your personal goals, equipment, and fitness level, whether you’re a beginner with no equipment or an experienced exercise enthusiast with a fully-equipped home gym. You can even pinpoint details like how long you’d like the workout session to be, the number of days every week, and your preferred choice of exercises.
After a workout, for example, you can provide your Fitbit results and your personal notes, and the system can analyze your data. Providing your feedback helps the AI model suggest alternative options and further customize your plan.
Walking is natural and beneficial for your wellness, so it’s worth putting one foot in front of the other. Whether you’re going around the block with your dog, exploring new places on foot, or just spending some time strolling outside, walking has been proven to lower your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and more.
The Japanese interval walking method, also known as interval walking training, is increasingly popular in the fitness world, to the extent that many are forgetting about those 10,000 steps. This method also provides proven benefits.
I was walking by my window the other day, and I saw a lizard doing push-ups, powering through rep after rep before taking little breaks in between. I laughed to myself while I observed the little guy for a moment, and I wondered: why do lizards do push-ups? We aren’t the only ones working out.

It can be a bit overwhelming being in the gym but not knowing the best equipment to use, as there can be a lot of options. As a personal trainer, I always recommend having a game plan before stepping into the gym, as doing random exercises will help you burn calories, but won’t be efficient for helping you reach your goals at the end of the day.
So, when it comes to cardio, what should you do? I have outlined five of the most popular cardio machines, as well as their pros and cons, who they are best for, and an example workout to help give you some guidance. Let’s dive in!
