How do I actually follow this bodyweight workout 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.

Anti-rotation core circuit

Q: What is the best ChatGPT prompt for a bodyweight workout like this?

Use the research-backed prompt on this page: "Write me a 20-minute bodyweight core circuit focused on anti-rotation and anti-extension (bracing the trunk to resist movement, not crunching). I'm an intermediate lifter, 25-39. Start with a 3-minute warm-up: cat-cow x8…" Copy the full version with the button above — it wraps the request so ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini returns a clean, followable bodyweight workout you can run hands-free in sweatcue.

The prompt

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

Write me a 20-minute bodyweight core circuit focused on anti-rotation and anti-extension (bracing the trunk to resist movement, not crunching). I'm an intermediate lifter, 25-39. Start with a 3-minute warm-up: cat-cow x8, glute bridges x10, bird-dogs x6 each side. Then give me a circuit I run for 3 rounds with these moves: front plank (hold 30-45s), dead-bug (8 slow reps each side, 3s lower), hollow-body hold (hold 20-30s), side plank (hold 25s each side), and a Pallof-style anti-rotation hold using a resistance band or towel anchored to a door (hold 20s each side). Rest 30s between exercises and 60s between rounds. Cue me to keep ribs down and lower back flat against the floor on the floor moves. Tell me how to regress each move if I lose the brace, and how to progress next time. Stop before failure — leave 1-2 reps in reserve so my form holds.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Anti-rotation and anti-extension drills (planks, dead-bugs, hollow holds) train the trunk to do its main job: keeping the spine stable while limbs move. Strength gains follow normal resistance principles — a few hard-but-not-to-failure sets, done a couple of times a week, build trunk strength. To be clear: no core exercise burns belly fat off the abs specifically. Visible abs come from overall body-fat level, which is mostly diet plus total activity, not crunches.
