Every new year begins with resolutions, specifically health-related promises to eat better and exercise more. However, for most people, these fitness goals established at the beginning of the year start to fade in the next month itself. Not necessarily due to a lack of motivation, but because of improper planning and action. Well, AI could now help fix that problem.
In order to encourage users to turn their 2026 health resolutions into achievable goals, Google has identified several new fitness-focused use cases for its Gemini AI chatbot. “You can prompt Gemini to build you a training plan, create a custom recovery schedule and more to help you reach — and keep — your health resolutions in 2026,” the search giant wrote in a post on X on Tuesday, January 6.
According to Google, Gemini can be used to effectively customise fitness and workout plans based on their experience or training level. These plans could also include specific race goals, and can be made more suitable for users by adding their available training days.
To demonstrate how users can interact with Gemini, Google shared the following example prompt: “I want to run the New York City marathon in 6 months. I recently finished a half-marathon in 2 hours, and I can train 5 days a week. Create a monthly training plan that will help me continue to build my endurance.”
Google’s post comes at a time when generative AI is revolutionising the health tech industry and powering new features in the latest wearables. For instance, at WWDC 2025, Apple introduced a new AI-powered feature called Workout Buddy.
In a blog post, the company said that the “first of its kind” functionality takes into consideration the user’s workout data along with their fitness history to “generate personalized, motivational insights during their session.” These insights use data like pace, heart rate, distance, personal fitness milestones, Activity rings and more.
Beyond health-focused new year resolutions, Google also pointed out that Gemini can be prompted to help users picture their ambitions for 2026.
“Visualize your 2026 goals with the help of Nano Banana Pro. Open the Gemini app and use the prompt in the replies. Try different styles, like magazine cutout, notebook paper, and more,” the official Gemini account wrote in an X post a few days ago.
The example prompt provided by Google to achieve this output from Gemini is as follows:
“A detailed blue ballpoint pen sketch of a knolling for my 2026 vision board featuring the following items: [Add your items here]. The drawing uses cross-hatching for shading and has a realistic but hand-drawn doodle aesthetic. There is a bright yellow highlighter outline glowing around the subject. Surrounding the subject are playful handwritten text annotations with arrows pointing to specific details of the subject. The background is white paper with horizontal blue lines and a vertical red margin line, visible paper texture.”
