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 12-minute mobility routine for a lifter to improve the positions heavy lifting demands — shoulder and thoracic-spine mobility for pressing and overhead work, and hip and ankle mobility for squatting. Use controlled dynamic movements and a few targeted holds, 2 rounds of 30 to 45 seconds per area. 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

Stretching and mobility work reliably increase range of motion, and better shoulder, hip and ankle mobility lets you reach stronger, safer lifting positions. The gains are clearest right after, so a little before training or on rest days works well.
