Going beyond vibe coding to use AI as health and gym coaching

Like all AI project, data collection is needed. Treating health improvement program as a sports science requires basic information such as heart rate, and training regime logs.

I have started knowing nothing of the metrics other than using intuitively data gathered from smart devices such as the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro which I had bought in late June 2025.

It is a commitment to start a healthy lifestyle; as a sunken cost fallacy to start working out using data driven motivation for self-improvement.

A device to get data of your health, Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro

It has a for android, the Mi Fitness which will provide telemetry needed.

Here are the examples of the telemetry which can be attained from the Mi Fitness app.

Mi Fitness Overview
Mi Fitness Heart rate monitor
Mi Fitness Workout overview
Mi Fitness some of the specific telemetry from a workout.

Hence, from the Mi Fitness apps, some telemetry which will be crucial to measure health using cardio are chosen.

From the Mi Fitness workout, here are the example of chosen telemetry.

Date, Workout type, Duration, Distance, Average BPM, Maximum BPM.

To determine the intensity defined by the app which is based on age of user are; duration of light, intensive, aerobic, Anaerobic of the sessions.

Next, from the Mi Fitness heart rate, gather all days, add additional field such as if its a work out day or not a workout day.

Next, collect the telemetry for 30days.

In this experiment, I have collected end of June to end of July. Have the stats uploaded and ask the AI specific question such as below.

Uploading file of heart rate for AI analytics

Next added a follow up question

Uploading related document which is training log to get more context from previous reply.

Here are few samples of the response.

Try follow up question by providing more context.

Always add abit more context to allow the AI to provide more accurate answers. Domain knowledge on this example sports science will be a good way to ask the AI.

Next, use the same session to ask of the review on August by providing data.

Again ask and prompt the AI with more details which is not provided in the logs.

For folks that has not done any dieting or health improvement experience, AI will recommend for the user if they are interested to create a dietary plan. Even for experienced user like me, it can be used to access if the current user diet plan are correct.

Hence, do not limit AI to asking entertainment questions or hard technical question for work. AI are trained with data for health improvement. Go beyond vibe coding to use AI as a health improvement coach, almost free of charged 😉
