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).

Give me a 20-minute gentle recovery yoga sequence for a runner to do after an easy run or on a rest day, focused on hamstrings, calves, hips and glutes. Use longer static holds for relaxation and range of motion, not an intense workout. Include: (1) a couple of minutes of easy breathing and gentle cat-cow to start, (2) downward dog with alternating heel pedals to ease the calves and hamstrings, holding the stretched side ~30 seconds each, (3) low lunge for the hip flexors, ~45 seconds per side, (4) half-splits / pyramid pose for the hamstrings, ~45 seconds per side, (5) figure-4 or reclined pigeon for the glutes and hips, ~60 seconds per side, (6) a seated forward fold, ~60 seconds, and (7) a couple of minutes lying down to finish. For each pose tell me where I should feel a mild stretch (never sharp pain), to keep breathing slowly, and to ease off if anything pinches. Name the poses clearly and give the hold time in seconds.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Static stretching reliably improves joint range of motion when held regularly, which is the honest reason to do this - it eases tight hips, hamstrings and calves and feels good after running. It does not prevent injury or 'flush out' soreness, and evidence that stretching speeds recovery is limited; treat this as comfortable mobility and relaxation rather than a performance fix. Gentle yoga can also support general wellbeing and stress.
