The prompt · ChatGPT
Plan a beginner workout week. Where: [home / gym / both] Time per session: [minutes] Days I can do: [number] Equipment: [none / bands / basic gym] Limits or niggles: [optional] Goal in my words: [feel better / get stronger / start] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A week outline with rest days. 2. Example session structures (not personalised physio). 3. Warm-up and cool-down in plain words. 4. Stop rules: sharp pain, dizziness, chest pain → stop and seek medical help / call 999 if severe. 5. Remind me to check with a GP before starting if I have a condition, am pregnant, or haven't exercised in a long time. 6. Point me to NHS Better Health / Live Well for general activity guidance. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent diagnoses, doses, calorie targets or treatment plans. This is help with preparation, planning and wording, not medical, diet or treatment advice; check the NHS website, speak to a pharmacist, or contact NHS 111; call 999 if it feels like an emergency.
