Hybrid Workout Program: How AI Adapts Your Training to Cycling, Running, Boxing
What can you write in Smart Rabbit's preferences field?
The preferences field accepts free text: your other sports, favorite exercises, variable durations per day, gym/home mix, specific methodologies (GVT, rest-pause...). The AI analyzes this text and adapts the program accordingly.
Smart Rabbit's "Preferences & Details" field is a free text field where you can write whatever you want. Unlike dropdown menus that limit choices, this field allows specific requests that classic forms cannot capture.
🏃 Your Other Sports Activities
If you practice other sports, the AI adjusts training volume to avoid overtraining muscles already being used.
Concrete Examples
- "I cycle 3h on Sundays" → The AI reduces leg volume
- "I do boxing 2x per week" → Less shoulder/arm volume, mobility exercises added
- "I swim on Tuesday and Thursday" → Back and shoulder work adaptation
- "I run 30min 3x per week" → Cardio reduction, less leg volume
🎯 Your Exercise Preferences
You can indicate exercises you like or want to avoid.
Examples
- "I love squats" → The AI will prioritize them
- "I hate leg press" → Replaced with an alternative
- "I prefer dumbbells over machines" → Dumbbell-oriented program
- "No deadlifts, I'm worried about my back" → Alternatives proposed
⏱️ Different Durations Per Day
The form asks for an overall duration, but you can specify variations in preferences.
Examples
- "Monday and Wednesday I have 45min, but Saturday I have 1h30"
- "Short sessions during the week (30min), long on weekends (60min)"
- "Thursday I only have 20min before work"
🏠 A Mix of Training Locations
The menu offers gym/home/outdoor, but you can combine in preferences.
Examples
- "2 gym sessions, 1 home session on Sunday"
- "Gym during the week, bodyweight on weekends when I travel"
- "I have dumbbells at home but go to the gym on Wednesday"
📚 Specific Methodologies
If you know specific training methods, you can request them. The AI checks if the method is compatible with your level before applying it.
Examples
- "I want to try GVT (German Volume Training)"
- "Include rest-pause on compound exercises"
- "I want supersets to save time"
- "Pyramid method on bench press"
😴 Your Recovery Constraints
Examples
- "I'm sleeping poorly right now, I want a less intense program"
- "I recover quickly, I can handle volume"
- "Physical job, I'm already tired when I arrive at the gym"
💪 Precise Goals on Specific Areas
Examples
- "I really want to develop my shoulders"
- "My calves are lagging"
- "I want a wider back"
- "Focus on glutes"
🔧 How the AI Processes This Information
Smart Rabbit's system prompt contains explicit instructions for handling these cases:
Processing Complementary Sports
- Volume reduction for already-used muscles
- Maintaining overall program balance
Processing Exercise Preferences
- Integration of preferred exercises if compatible with goals
- Proposing alternatives to unwanted exercises
- Preserving at least one fundamental exercise per muscle group
Processing Methodologies
- Checking compatibility with level
- Explaining implementation in the program
⚠️ What Doesn't Work Well
Let's be honest about the limitations:
Contradictory Requests
"I want to gain mass but lose weight at the same time" → The AI will make a compromise that won't be optimal for either.
Too Much Information
A 500-word text block may drown the important points. Stay concise: 2-3 sentences are enough.
Medical Requests
"I have a L4-L5 herniated disc" → The AI can adapt but doesn't replace a physiotherapist.
Unrealistic Requests
"I want abs in 2 weeks" → The program will be correct but expectations won't.
📝 Complete Examples of Well-Written Preferences
Example 1 - Multi-Activity Athlete
"I road cycle 4h on Sunday and run 2x30min during the week. I want to strengthen my upper body without tiring my legs too much."
Example 2 - Variable Time Constraints
"Monday and Wednesday: 30min max before work. Saturday: 1h15 relaxed. I prefer dumbbells, no machines."
Example 3 - Return from Injury
"Right shoulder operated 6 months ago, I have the green light from the physio but want to progress gradually. Avoid military press for now."
Example 4 - Targeted Goal
"My pecs are lagging behind the rest. I want 2 chest exercises per session minimum. I like incline bench press."
💡 In Summary
The preferences field is a direct communication space with the AI. The more precise and concise you are, the better the program will be adapted.
Key Points
- Mention your other sports with their frequency
- Indicate exercises you like or want to avoid
- Specify if your durations vary by day
- Request specific methods if you know them
- Stay concise: 2-3 sentences are usually enough
