Reflecting on mental wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is critical to improvements in physical health and fitness. Mental wellbeing can directly impact the quality of your workouts, and physical health improvements can symbiotically lead to mental wellbeing improvements.
World Champ Tech is proud to introduce new features to its line of workout apps to help you reflect on your mental state, and then use this information to adapt World Champ Tech’s patent-applied-for artificial intelligence coaching based on your current mental wellbeing. Providing appropriate encouragement that accounts for your current mood can help you get the most out of your workouts and steer you toward better workout choices.
The Bike+ app prompts you to reflect on your current mood prior to starting a workout
The World Champ Tech family of workout apps provide five options to describe your current mood using weather symbols that convey a sense of your internal, mental weather.
Sunny
A very positive mental state
Hazy sunshine
A positive mental state
Partly sunny & partly cloudy
A neutral mental state
Cloudy
A negative mental state
Stormy
A very negative mental state
Following a workout, users are prompted to reflect on how they felt during the workout. Accurately assessing how you performed a workout can help guide improvements in future workouts. Misjudging your workout performance can lead to overestimating your performance, and perhaps failing to push yourself sufficiently to maximize fitness gains, or underestimating your workout performance with a resulting negative perspective on your achievements. In the worst cases, underestimating your workout performance can lead to overtraining as you feel like you are failing to reach the goals of your workouts, or perhaps even stopping your workout program in frustration.

The Swim+ app provides different choices of animals to convey a sense of workout performance.
