You can ask the AI why it made the choices it did. This is underused and surprisingly useful.
Things to ask
"Why did you pick these exercises?"
"Why this order?"
"Why is the warm-up so long?"
"Why only two sets of squats?"
"What's the logic of combining yoga with strength here?"
"What are you trying to achieve with this section?"
The AI explains its reasoning based on your profile, goals, and constraints.
Why this matters
You learn from your routines. Over time, you start to understand training logic — periodization, warm-up structure, exercise pairing — without having to read textbooks.
You catch errors. Sometimes the AI's reasoning reveals an assumption you can correct. "You picked light sets because I said 'easy' — but I meant short, not easy. Can you up the intensity?"
Better trust. If the reasoning makes sense, you follow the routine with more confidence.
Where to ask
In the input bar of the routine, just type or speak the question. The answer appears as an assistant message in the conversation — your routine doesn't get regenerated just because you asked.
Follow-up edits
After an explanation, edits land more naturally: "Based on what you said, let's shorten the warm-up and add more main-set volume."
Questions that work less well
Training science debates — the AI isn't a peer-reviewed source; don't use it to settle arguments about hypertrophy vs. strength programming
Medical questions — not a clinician. Movement explanations, yes; diagnosis or treatment, no.
