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 25-minute mat Pilates session focused on deep core control and trunk stability. I'm intermediate, 25-39. Begin with a 4-minute warm-up: diaphragmatic breathing x6, pelvic tilts x8, cat-cow x8. Then guide me through a sequence with clear hold times in seconds and rep counts, cueing the brace and breath on each: the hundred (100 beats, ~60-90s), single-leg stretch (10 each side), double-leg stretch (10), criss-cross (10 each side, slow), spine stretch forward (hold end position 3s x6), teaser progression (hold 3-5s x5), side-lying leg lifts (12 each side), and a forearm plank hold (hold 30-45s). Finish with a 3-minute cool-down: child's pose 30s, supine spinal twist 30s each side. Tell me how to modify the hundred and teaser if my neck or lower back strains, and how to make each move harder once it feels controlled.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Pilates is a reasonable way to build trunk strength, endurance, and body awareness, and reviews show benefits for core stability and flexibility — though much of the research is small or moderate quality, so treat the effect as real but modest rather than dramatic. It's a solid low-impact option for direct core work. As with any training, it won't selectively burn belly fat; visible abs come from overall body composition.
