Lift-day warm-up & cooldown
Beginner · Under 25 · ~15 min
A 15-minute dynamic warm-up to prime your big lifts plus a short stretch to wind down. 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
A dynamic, movement-based warm-up that raises body temperature and takes joints through their range is the sensible way to prep for lifting. The static stretches here are placed AFTER training: a 2023 review found stretching reliably increases range of motion, but evidence that long static holds before strength work improve performance or prevent injury is weak and mixed, and heavy pre-lift static stretching can briefly blunt force. So warm up dynamically, save the longer holds for the cooldown.
