Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about SensAI Fitness and your AI-powered personal training journey.

Getting Started

How do I create a personalized workout plan using my fitness data?
SensAI is an app that creates personalized workout plans based on your existing Apple Health fitness data. You sign up, connect your Apple Health, and it takes care of the rest!

What types of workouts are best for my goals?
  • Fat loss: High-intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training, and strength training with moderate rest.
  • Muscle gain: Resistance training focusing on progressive overload (weights, bands, or bodyweight), using moderate-to-heavy loads.
  • Endurance: Steady-state cardio (running, cycling, swimming) and low-to-moderate intensity strength work with higher reps.

How do I track my fitness progress over time?
Use an app like SensAI to log workouts, weights, and reps. Track strength, endurance, body measurements, and consistency.

Workout Adjustments

What can I do to adjust my workouts based on my performance or recovery?
Increase difficulty if workouts feel easy. If fatigued or sore, reduce intensity/volume or add more recovery.

How many days a week should I train?
3–5 days per week works well for most. More days allow for split routines; fewer days usually mean full-body sessions.

What should I do if I miss a workout?
Pick up where you left off or reschedule. SensAI adapts your plan accordingly.

Equipment & Safety

Can I work out at home without equipment?
Yes! Bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and planks are effective. SensAI will tailor your plan if you indicate no equipment.

How do I prevent injury while working out?
Warm up, use proper form, avoid excessive loads, progress gradually, and listen to your body.

How do I get guidance on proper exercise form or technique?
Use apps with video demonstrations or watch YouTube tutorials. Start light to master technique.

How do I modify workouts if I have an injury or limitation?
Use app features to input limitations or substitute exercises. Focus on pain-free movements and gradual progress.

Motivation & Consistency

How do I stay motivated working out over time?
Set clear goals, track progress, celebrate milestones, and periodically change up your routine.

How can I track my workout progress?
Log each session's weights, reps, duration, and perceived effort. Look for improvements over time.

How do I know if I'm getting stronger or just maintaining?
Strength gains show when you lift more, do more reps, or complete workouts more easily. Maintenance is when performance plateaus.

How can I stay motivated to stick to my workout plan?
Break goals into smaller milestones, celebrate wins, and keep workouts varied and fun.

Training & Technique

What's a good alternative to hiring a personal trainer?
Use a fitness app with adaptive programming, video demos, and coaching support — like SensAI.

How often should I change up my workout routine?
Every 4–8 weeks, or sooner if you plateau or get bored. Use the "remix my workout" feature in SensAI.

How do I avoid hitting a plateau in my training?
  • Vary exercises
  • Increase weights or reps
  • Try different formats (supersets, intervals)
  • Get enough rest

What's the best way to warm up before a workout?
Do 5–10 minutes of dynamic movement (e.g., jumping jacks, lunges, light cardio) and mobility work for targeted muscles.

How do I know if I'm using proper form during exercises?
  • Use video demos
  • Use mirrors
  • Film yourself for feedback

Training Schedule

Is it better to work out in the morning or evening?
It's up to your preference. Choose the time you're most consistent and energized.

Should I focus on cardio, strength, or both?
Both are beneficial. Choose a mix based on your goals — cardio for heart health, strength for muscle and metabolism.

How long should a workout be to be effective?
20–60 minutes depending on intensity and goals. Quality matters more than duration.

What's the difference between strength training and hypertrophy training?
  • Strength: Heavier weights, 1–6 reps, longer rest.
  • Hypertrophy: Moderate weights, 8–15 reps, shorter rest, more volume.

Equipment & Resources

How can I work out effectively with limited equipment?
Use bodyweight and resistance bands, prioritize compound movements, and increase reps or time-under-tension.

What are signs of overtraining and how can I avoid it?
Look out for persistent soreness, fatigue, poor sleep, or irritability. Avoid it with adequate rest and by adjusting intensity.

How do I stay consistent when I travel or have a busy schedule?
Use short, efficient sessions. Prioritize movement. Use adaptive apps like SensAI.

Training Structure

How should I structure a weekly workout split?
  • 3 days/week: Full-body workouts
  • 4 days/week: Upper/lower split
  • 5 days/week: Push/pull/legs
  • SensAI can automate this for you

Do I need to track calories and macros to see results?
Not always. Helpful for specific goals, but most people benefit from consistent training and general healthy eating.

How important is rest and recovery in my workout plan?
Extremely important. Muscles grow during rest. Include 1–2 rest days per week and listen to your body.
