How do I actually follow this mobility routine once the AI writes it?

Paste the AI's reply into sweatcue. It structures the session into timed blocks with auto-starting rest timers and calls every set, rest and rep out loud, so you train hands-free instead of scrolling a chat window.

The prompt

Copy the complete prompt (it wraps the request below so the AI returns a clean, runnable session).

Write me a 5-minute mobility routine I can do at my desk or beside it, a few times a day, to undo the stiffness of sitting — neck, upper back, shoulders, hips and hip flexors. Use gentle, controlled movements and easy holds, nothing that needs changing clothes. Give each movement a hold time or rep count in seconds, in the order to do them.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Short, frequent mobility breaks counter the stiffness and tight hips and upper back that prolonged sitting causes, and range-of-motion gains from regular stretching are reliable. Little and often beats one long session.
