illusionist@lemmy.zip 1 week agoThere’s only a very limited set of exercises. It’s not rocket science. There are also many professionally built workout routines online accessible for free.

Correct, but being able to programmatically make the recommendation is computer science.

Sure and assuming you want a professional routine, you always end up with the same exercises, depending on the frequency of your training and split.
Maybe my mind is too narrow in this regard to see a benefit in it, sorry

I’d say too narrow, goals vary between people greatly, and the routine you’d use for general fitness will be different than the one you’d focus on as a runner or cyclist, and different than someone focusing on support muscles for back or knee pain, or to lose weight.
Its also good to change the routine over time, to change the angle and movement patterns, etc.

All those goals are fixed and for neither of them is a “random” routine good.
Users should be able to create and share/follow routines.
I would not want to rely on a random routine for my injury. Do you think tgat’s a good idea?
Having an ai to tell me when to switch angle sounds overkill to me. I’d switch angles if I have to hit the muscle differently or just whenever I want to. Both situations don’t require an ai to do that, right?
