- Not considering workout format requirements: Workout content has specific length, energy, and production needs that generic prompts miss
- Forgetting the practical use context: Music for workout serves a specific function — it needs to work in that environment
- Using vocals when instrumental works better: Many workout applications work better with instrumental tracks to avoid distraction
- Wrong energy level for the use case: Workout music needs precisely calibrated energy — too much or too little breaks the experience
- Ignoring licensing considerations: Check Suno licensing terms for commercial use — not all plans allow commercial applications
