Athletic warm-up for power
Advanced · 40–54 · ~15 min
A 15-minute dynamic movement-prep routine to get the joints and tissues ready for explosive training. Below is a research-backed prompt for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, copy it, paste the reply into sweatcue, and run the whole mobility routine hands-free.
Session at a glance
This is how sweatcue structures the session once you paste it in, timed blocks with auto-starting rest and spoken cues. Figures are read from the prompt itself.

Why it's built this way
For a pre-power session, dynamic movement-prep is the right tool: long static stretching before explosive work can transiently reduce force and power output, whereas dynamic and active drills prepare range of motion without that downside. The ROM review by Behm and colleagues supports using brief, dynamic mobility work as part of a warm-up and keeping prolonged static holds for separate sessions. Mobility prep won't directly build power, it just lets you train it well.

Who this workout is for
Built with one person in mind: 40s, experienced, power, engine and conditioning.
- You’re an advanced-level trainer and you want to get measurably stronger.
- You have access to the kit it calls for: a mat.
- You want a single, repeatable mobility routine you can drop into your week.
Who should adapt or skip it
- The jumping and high-impact work isn’t ideal if you’re pregnant, managing a heart condition, or nursing a knee, hip or ankle issue, swap in the low-impact variations or choose a steady session instead.
- As with any new routine, check with a clinician first if you have a medical condition, are injured, pregnant, or returning from a long lay-off. This is general information, not medical advice.
What a 2-week plan looks like
A single session works best on a repeating weekly rhythm. Here’s a simple, balanced two-week block at about 5 sessions a week, on non-consecutive days so you recover between them:
| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | ● | ● | ● | · | ● | ● | · |
| Week 2 | ● | ● | ● | · | ● | ● | · |
● This session· Rest or a gentle walk
Keep session days apart where you can, and adjust for how you feel. When you paste the AI’s reply into sweatcue, each session runs hands-free with spoken cues and timers.
Run it hands-free in sweatcue
