LLM Prompting

For this experience I choose to try Gemini for the first time, since I’ve always used only ChatGPT and wanted to try something new to see if they differ. My experience was for my surprise really positive, Gemini was asking me questions to be more specific, details about goals in working out, body weight etc. when I tried to ask for workout plan and overall I found this very positive.

For example prompt I used in the 2nd round

make me a workout plan

gemini answered asking those questions :

 What is your primary goal? (e.g., building muscle, losing weight, increasing endurance, or general health?)

What is your experience level? (e.g., beginner, intermediate, or advanced?)

How many days per week can you realistically commit?

 What equipment do you have access to? (e.g., full gym, dumbbells only, or bodyweight at home?)

After answering those questions it asked me more about body weight and height and after it built me a workout plan acting as a very supportive coach and acting really nice. Workout seemed valid to me and like something that could possibly work if I ever decide to use it, it also gave me options to make a meal plan, which was really adjustable and more options for everyday.

I tried to be as specific as possible and give all of the additional information as I’ve learned from our UT Prompt Literacy guide reading that it’s important to be specific and detailed, iterative refinement – https://www.utsystem.edu/sites/default/files/documents/general-documents/2025/ut-aspire-prompt-literacy/ut-aspire-prompt-literacy.pdf

Overall this was very positive and useful experience for me and I would probably use it again for workout or diets!:)
