My next challenge for ChatGPT was to develop a new exercise program for me.
Because I’d been power walking for over eight years, I think my body had become accustomed to it, so it wasn’t as efficient anymore in terms of maintaining fitness.
It seemed my metabolism had stalled out.
I entered my issues, my age, and my goals. Before too long, I had a program that I could live with.
I’ve now switched from power walking to the Japanese walking method and have added strength training.
ChatGPT outlined everything in detail, and so far, it’s going well.
The Japanese walking method takes half the time of the power walking (30 mins vs an hour), but it definitely feels more intense. The frequency is five days per week with slower and/or longer walks or a rest on the other two days.
The strength training is mild and done via light weights, resistance bands, and calisthenics. Right now the frequency is 3x per week.
Today is day 10 and I’m already noticing improvements in terms of energy and how much better my clothes are fitting.
