Every new year begins with ambitious resolutions, often centred around eating better, exercising more, and living healthier. Yet for many, these goals start to fade within weeks — not because of a lack of motivation, but due to poor planning and inconsistent execution. Now, artificial intelligence could offer a solution.
To help users turn their 2026 health resolutions into realistic and achievable targets, Google has unveiled a series of 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 tech giant wrote in a post on X on Tuesday, January 6.
According to Google, Gemini can personalise fitness and workout plans based on a user’s experience level, training history, and available schedule. The tool can also tailor programmes around specific goals, such as preparing for a race, making the plans more practical and easier to follow.
To illustrate how the chatbot can be used, Google shared a sample prompt: “I want to run the New York City Marathon in six months. I recently finished a half marathon in two hours, and I can train five days a week. Create a monthly training plan that will help me continue to build my endurance.”
Google’s announcement comes as generative AI continues to reshape the health-tech sector and power new features in modern wearables. At WWDC 2025, Apple introduced an AI-driven feature called Workout Buddy, designed to deliver real-time, personalised motivation during workouts.
In a blog post, Apple described the “first-of-its-kind” feature as one that uses a user’s workout data and fitness history to generate tailored, motivational insights during exercise sessions. These are based on metrics such as pace, heart rate, distance, personal milestones, and Activity rings.
Beyond fitness goals, Google says Gemini can also help users visualise their ambitions for 2026. “Visualise 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 a recent X post.
To generate this kind of visual output, Google suggested the following example prompt: “A detailed blue ballpoint pen sketch of a knolling for my 2026 vision board featuring the following items: [Add your items here]…,” followed by detailed instructions on style, shading, and layout.
