hi all,

I'm new to fitness and this app.

I went with a 5 day a week program. and it's having me do bicep excercises two days in a row.

the fisrt one was standing dumbell curl. the next one is preacher curl machine.

is this app glitiching on me? don't I need 48 hours of rest between them?

if the app thingks I'm having a rest day in between, souldn't it tell me that?

I asked ChatGPT to come up with a program. Can you review and comment on it?

Edit: a quick clarifiaction for some thechnophobes who have nothing better do than be a boomer in my thread:

When I say I'm a beginner, I mean I didn't even know where to begin when writing down a prgram.

So instead of throwing some random excersizes together, and asking you folks "how is this?" I thought it would be more practical if I ask an LLM to do the base, and then build from there...

But apparantly some luddites took offense to that.

Hi all,

This is what I asked the LLM:

"I want to go to the gym to lose weight. 
Can you come up with a detailed 6 day split workout prgramme.
Include sets and reps. 
Try to avoid including the kinds of exercises that i could do at home.
As much as possible, try to include only the kinds of exercises that require gym equipment. 

Gender: Male
Age: 46
Height: 168cm
Weight: 71
Gym experience: beginner"
