The prompt

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

I want a 20-minute no-equipment posture circuit I can do at home to strengthen the muscles that fight a desk slouch (upper back, rear shoulders, glutes, low-back). Give me reps and hold times in seconds with rest. Warm-up (3 min): marching in place 60s, arm circles 30s each direction, cat-cow x8. Then 2-3 rounds of: wall angels 10 reps slow (2s up, 2s down), glute bridge 15 reps with 2s squeeze at top, superman 12 reps with 2s hold, prone Y-T-W raises 8 each, wall sit 30s, bird-dog 8 per side with 3s hold. Rest 45-60s between exercises and 90s between rounds. Tell me to move slowly and control each rep rather than rushing, and add a one-line form cue per move. Finish with a 2-minute stretch (doorway pec stretch 30s per side, child's pose 45s).

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Bodyweight circuits build real strength-endurance in the targeted muscles, and these moves hit the upper-back, glutes and spinal erectors that get under-used from sitting. Slow, controlled reps with a squeeze at the end of range are a sound way to train without equipment. Honest caveat: there's no evidence a circuit like this permanently changes your posture — the gain is stronger, more enduring muscles, which usually means fewer end-of-day aches.
