How do I actually follow this cardio workout 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).

Give me a 15-minute lower-body conditioning finisher built around sled pushes and loaded carries, to do at the end of a gym session. I'm an intermediate lifter in my late 20s. Include a 3-minute warm-up (bodyweight squats, walking lunges, leg swings, glute bridges). Then a circuit I repeat for about 10 minutes: 1) sled push for 15-20 metres at a moderately heavy load (I should be able to keep moving but it's genuinely hard, roughly RPE 7-8), 2) farmer's carry for 30-40 metres with a moderately heavy dumbbell/kettlebell in each hand, 3) walking lunges x10 per leg. Rest 45-60 seconds between rounds, aiming for 3-4 rounds. Tell me how to judge the right sled and carry load by effort (RPE), give me 2 posture cues for the sled (low body angle, drive through mid-foot) and the carry (ribs down, tall spine, braced core), and finish with a 2-minute walk to bring my heart rate down. If I don't have a sled, give me a substitute.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Sled pushes and loaded carries are effective, joint-friendly conditioning that loads the glutes, quads and grip while raising heart rate, making them a useful finisher to add training volume and calorie expenditure. They build lower-body and full-body work capacity. As with any single exercise, they don't selectively burn fat from the legs — visible 'shape' comes from building the underlying muscle plus an overall calorie deficit. Use effort (RPE) to set load; the strength and conditioning benefits come from working hard enough to be challenging while keeping good posture.
