Setup
about 30 min (estimate)
Before you start
- An AI chat — https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6825453-chatgpt-custom-instructions
- Google Sheets — https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6000292
- Google Calendar — https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37115
Steps
Write the limits first
Note the minutes you will actually spend, the equipment you have, and anything that already hurts. If you are unsure you should train, ask a professional before you start.
Ask for four weeks
Paste those notes. Custom instructions: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6825453-chatgpt-custom-instructions
Build a four-week exercise plan from the minutes, equipment, and limits I paste. Each session stays within the minutes I named. Use only equipment I named. Week 1 is the easiest. Do not promise a body change. Do not tell me to work through pain. If I named a painful area, avoid loading it.
Make a log you will fill
Columns: date, move, sets, reps, and how it felt. How it felt is your words, such as fine or sharp. Sheets: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6000292
Put the sessions on the calendar
Repeat them only for the four weeks. Title each one with the session, not a medical claim. Repeating events: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37115
Adjust from the log
Paste last week's rows. Keep the same number of sessions.
Here is my log. Raise the reps slightly on moves I marked fine. Swap a move I marked sharp for an easier one that avoids that area. Do not add a session. Do not diagnose. Do not tell me the pain is normal.
Stop for pain
If a move hurts during the session, stop that move and write sharp in the log. See a professional if the pain stays. Do not ask the chat to clear you.
Example output
Time: 25 minutes. Equipment: a mat and two dumbbells. Week 1: three sessions. Squat to a chair, row, a short walk. Log: Tuesday, squat, 3 sets of 8, felt fine. Week 2 change: squat 3 sets of 10. The row stays, because the shoulder felt sharp. That move is swapped for a band pull.
Power move
After the week, paste the log. The next week changes the reps on moves that felt fine, and swaps a move you marked as painful. It does not add a session.
What to check
- Each session fits the minutes and equipment you wrote.
- A move you marked as painful was swapped, not loaded heavier.
- You stopped when something hurt, and you did not treat the chat as a clinician.
What it can't do
It is not medical advice, and it does not clear you to train. See a professional for pain, a symptom, or a condition you already have. Stop a move that hurts. It cannot watch your form.
