Staying active and healthy has never been this easy.
We all know about the power of AI these days, especially Generative AI. ChatGPT is currently the most widely used AI tool (Duarte, 2025), so it’s safe to say it is having a big impact on how we live. Personally, I use ChatGPT for many different things, from helping me find references for my papers to planning trips or asking general daily questions.
In my free time I find it important to live an active and healthy life. I love to cook and experiment with new recipes, and to stay fit I often go to the gym or head outside for a hike. However, I used to struggle with finding ways to eat healthy, diverse, and tasty meals that were also easy to make. I also found it difficult to create the perfect gym routine. I never liked using personal trainers, because I prefer to work independently and without any additional costs.
That’s when I discovered that ChatGPT could solve most of my health-related problems. I immediately went to the chat and started typing. I never knew that being active and healthy could be this easy and even fun!
I began by asking ChatGPT to design the perfect gym schedule that would fit my lifestyle perfectly. I told it how much free time I had for exercising, what kind of workouts I liked, and what my fitness goal were. The result was great, I’ve never seen a schedule so detailed, well-structured, and realistic like that. This plan actually made sense and I was directly really existed to try it out. I’ve been using it ever since, and I’m very satisfied with the results. Whenever I want to change something, I just tell ChatGPT what I’d like to adjust, and it instantly updates the plan to match my current preferences. The way that ChatGPT explains why certain exercises are good, specifically for me, makes me trust the schedule even more.
Since ChatGPT already knows how active I am and my fitness goals, I also started using it to find new meal ideas. I added some additional personal information about my weight, food preferences, and dietary goals. In return, ChatGPT came up with interesting and creative meals, some of which I’d never tried before. As someone who enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, I really like this. The recipes are detailed, healthy, and just how I like it. In addition, it could even make a grocery shopping list out of the chosen recipes!
Altogether, ChatGPT helps me stay disciplined, active, and healthy. I would recommend everyone who is interested in living a more balanced lifestyle to give it a try. It might just become your new favorite health buddy too.

So cool to read and love how it fuels the fire for your passion about fitness and cooking! I started using ChatGpt too for fitness exercises and even went one step further by letting it “treat” an severe injury I had. After going to the physcial therapist for diagnosis, I found it was too costly without an additional insurance plan. So I used AI to come up with a 3 monthly plan with slowly intensifying exercises to tackle the injury and it worked I am injury free now and probably way more resistent to future injuries! I also used AI to make a plan for sport specific exercises to improve performance. Overall I think AI really can help in whatever passion you have and gives new dimensions to the passion you have. You basically have almost the same knowledge resources as a professional athlete or cook would have which allows everyone to keep discovering and refining their strategies aligned with their passion and I just think that is GREAT!
