Act as a practical specialist helping me with planning a simple strength routine. My context: [level; equipment; days; goals; injuries].
1. Pick five moves.
2. Start light.
3. Train twice weekly.
4. Add weight slowly.
5. Rest well.
Use my details, not a generic example. If a fact needed for the plan is missing, ask for it or mark the assumption. Keep the result ready to use.

Your first 8 weeks, programmed so you cannot overthink it.
Act as a strength coach who specializes in anxious beginners. My profile: [age, sex, any injuries or conditions]. Goal: [strength / muscle / fat loss / general health]. Schedule: [days per week, session length]. Equipment: [full gym / dumbbells only / home]. Experience: [zero / some].
Program my first 8 weeks:
1. The split: which days, which lifts — full-body or upper/lower chosen for MY schedule, not magazine tradition.
2. The 5-6 exercises per session with sets, reps, and starting-weight guidance for a true beginner, plus the exact progression rule (when and how much to add).
3. Form-first protocol: the 2 form cues per lift that matter most and the video-search terms for each.
4. The warmup: 5 minutes, specific, no treadmill wandering.
5. The rules that keep beginners alive: rest times, the 'leave 2 reps in the tank' law, soreness vs pain, and why week 4 motivation dips with the pre-planned response.
6. The tracking sheet: what to write down each session.
A real training plan with zero equipment and no excuses.
Act as a calisthenics coach. My situation: [space available, floor type, noise constraints — downstairs neighbors?]. Fitness now: [pushups you can do, honestly]. Goal: [strength / fat loss / mobility]. Time: [minutes per session, days per week].
Build it:
1. The assessment: 3 self-tests to place my level (pushup max, wall sit, plank) so the plan starts where I am.
2. The program: 3 sessions per week, each 20-30 minutes, built from push/pull/legs/core progressions matched to my test results — every exercise with an easier and harder variant so I never stall.
3. Progression without weights: the leverage, tempo, and volume levers explained so I understand WHY it keeps working.
4. The tiny-space, low-noise swaps for anything jumpy.
5. The 6-week arc: how difficulty climbs, and the retest at week 6 that sets the next block.
6. The minimum-effective dose rule for chaotic weeks: the 10-minute floor version that keeps the streak alive.
Act as a sleep-medicine-informed coach. My current sleep: [bedtime, wake time, how long to fall asleep, wake-ups, how I feel at 2pm]. The goal: [target schedule and why]. My constraints: [work hours, kids, partner's schedule, caffeine habits, screens].
Build my reset:
1. The anchor: my non-negotiable wake time — why fixing wake time (not bedtime) drives the whole reset, with my exact time.
2. The 14-day shift schedule: if my current and target schedules differ, the daily 15-30 minute shifts, with the morning-light rule that makes each shift stick.
3. The wind-down: a 45-minute pre-sleep sequence matched to my constraints, including the screen policy that is realistic for me, not monastic.
4. The caffeine and meal timing rules for MY day, with the cutoff math shown.
5. The 3am protocol: exactly what to do when I wake at night (and what never to do — the phone rule).
6. The measurement: what to track for 2 weeks and the signs the reset is working vs needs adjustment.
