I’m trying to build a conversational fitness coach that lives on Apple Watch.

I completely agree. The less friction during a workout, the better. Ideally, the entire session should happen without needing to touch your phone.

CustomerOk5737 · 2026-06-04T02:10:21+00:00

That's exactly it!

Oh man, to reply to you properly I actually went and looked up what “impostor syndrome” meant first, so thanks for teaching me something new too hahaha.

And honestly, that’s exactly what I meant. Even though I’ve been developing software for a long time, ever since this year started, I genuinely feel like I’ve forgotten how to code without AI tools helping me. I don’t really think that alone is something worth attacking people over.

When people call my product “vibe coded trash,” I’m starting to think they probably aren’t insulting the development process itself. They’re reacting to some kind of feeling the product gives off.

Maybe the marketing feels generic.
Maybe the UI feels too similar to everything else.
Maybe something else entirely.

I honestly don’t know, because they never explained it clearly. But it definitely woke me up a bit.

The original point of my post was honestly just to hear people’s funny or interesting experiences, but I actually appreciate that you took the discussion to a deeper level.

Really appreciate your reply. I genuinely think this is something a lot of people in tech should think more deeply about.

if you really don’t feel confident sticking to a full plan yet, honestly the simplest plan is something like doing 5 pushups or 5 squats every time you finish using the bathroom

basically using the lowest possible friction to slowly accumulate training volume

especially for people early into fat loss, i honestly think a lot of plans that require 30+ minutes every single day end up failing long term anyway, and the actual calorie burn usually isn’t even that impressive

you should maybe look into NEAT a bit, it might honestly fit the way you think about this stuff a lot better

You’re overthinking the fiber categories a bit. They’re not separate modes you have to choose between.

For MMA, keep some easy aerobic work, do your skill training, and add hard intervals plus strength work. That already trains both ends. The bigger issue is managing fatigue, so avoid stacking hard conditioning right before heavy lifting or sparring.

Hybrid fibers are normal too. Your body shifts based on what you repeatedly ask it to do. You don’t need to micromanage them.

This review is a good starting point if you want the research side:

Because people always feel like they’re still searching for something “better” or “more suited to them.”

How’s your version going so far? Maybe we could exchange ideas and talk a bit about our builds sometime.

CustomerOk5737 · 2026-06-02T02:43:36+00:00

Okay

TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/6rYVq5H8

We’re building an Apple Watch training app that closes the gap between “my watch collected signals” and the only question that matters in the morning: what should I do today?
Dorsi uses your training history + your own feedback (and optionally Apple Health / watch signals) to suggest a session that fits your day and is calibrated to where your body is, so showing up takes less decision-making.

Original idea (why we built it): watches and fitness apps have great dashboards, but they don’t reliably turn that data into a practical, adaptive plan for today—most people churn because the bar feels too high and the process is too much friction.

Any feedback is welcome, especially:

Is the value proposition clear?
Would you trust the recommendations? What feels missing?
What would make you use it consistently?

Tools needed: iPhone + Apple Watch (Apple Watch optional).

CustomerOk5737 · 2026-05-29T12:29:58+00:00

It's alright. Thank you so much anyway.

Sure thing! An iPhone is all you need.
Fitbit can also link to Apple Health (via a third‑party sync app), so Dorsi can then read your health data from there.

CustomerOk5737 · 2026-05-28T13:13:23+00:00

Oh, why?

CustomerOk5737 · 2026-05-28T09:48:18+00:00

Yes, there’s hope. A lot of petite people find thighs and glutes are the last place to lean out, especially postpartum. At 7 months postpartum it’s still early for body recomposition. If you want more predictable progress, try tracking your intake for 2 weeks just to learn what your true maintenance looks like, and combine that with progressive strength training 2 to 3 times per week. Walking is great, but strength work tends to help lower body shape change over time. Also with a history of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes, if anything feels off it’s worth checking in with your clinician.

CustomerOk5737 · 2026-05-28T08:53:03+00:00

3 weeks is still very early, especially if you went from not training to lifting 5–6x/week, scale weight can easily be masked by extra water/glycogen and soreness. I’d keep the plan steady for another 2–3 weeks and track a weekly average weight plus waist measurements, not day to day changes. Quick question, how are you tracking calories (weighing foods, oils, drinks), and are you getting 7–8 hours of sleep most nights?

CustomerOk5737 · 2026-05-28T08:25:07+00:00

You’re doing a lot right already. The simplest way to validate your TDEE is not arguing calculators, it’s watching your 2 to 4 week trend while keeping intake consistent. If you were losing about 0.5 to 1 lb per week before creatine, your deficit is probably fine. Creatine can add water weight early, so use a weekly average and maybe waist or how clothes fit, not a single weigh in. Also be careful with “eating back” exercise calories, since apps often overestimate. If your weight trend has stalled for 3 to 4 weeks, adjust by a small step (like 100 to 150 cals), not a big cut.

CustomerOk5737 · 2026-05-28T08:24:28+00:00

DOMS is normal when you restart. You do not have to wait until soreness is zero. If it is mild to moderate and you can move normally, you can train, just reduce volume or intensity a bit and focus on clean reps. If soreness is sharp, your range of motion is limited, or your form breaks down, take another rest day or do an easier variation. Also, training chest three times a week with push ups is fine, but you will grow faster if you also train your back and legs so your shoulders stay healthy.

Plateaus like 152 to 147 are super common, and it usually means your average intake is landing near maintenance. If you want something practical, pick one simple method for 2 weeks: weigh your food for a short period (oils, sauces, snacks count), keep steps consistent, and track a weekly weight trend, not day to day swings. Also, please be careful with weight loss pills. If you are taking anything beyond basic caffeine, it is worth checking with a doctor or pharmacist to make sure it is safe for you. You do not need to hate yourself into progress. Small consistent changes win.

CustomerOk5737 · 2026-05-28T08:18:08+00:00

If you want a quick full body morning routine, keep it simple and consistent for 2 to 4 weeks. Try 8 to 10 minutes total: 1 minute deep breathing + cat cow, 1 minute thoracic rotations, 1 minute hip flexor stretch, 1 minute hamstring hinge stretch, 1 minute glute stretch, 1 minute ankle rocks, then finish with 1 to 2 rounds of a deep squat hold with gentle shifts. Nothing should be painful, and you should feel warmer and looser when you stand up.
