Step by step
Make a workout log form
Create a Google Forms form with questions for date, workout type, duration, main exercises and weights or distance, effort out of 10 and a note. Link it to a Google Sheet.
Put the form on your home screen
Open the form link on your phone and add it to your home screen, so logging takes under a minute after each session.
Set up a weekly review
If your AI assistant offers scheduled tasks or can read your Google Drive (some plans include this), schedule a weekly task with this prompt. Otherwise, set a Sunday reminder and paste the last week's rows yourself.
Prompt to copyReview my workout log for the last 7 days: [paste rows or point to the sheet]. Compare with the previous 4 weeks. Give me: total sessions and minutes, any lifts or distances that improved, how my effort scores are trending, whether I'm doing too much or too little based on my goal of [goal], and one suggestion for next week.
