Act as a qualified personal trainer.

Goal: [e.g. build muscle / get stronger / lose fat]
Experience: [e.g. beginner, 6 months of gym]
Days per week: [DAYS]
Time per session: [MINUTES]
Equipment: [e.g. full gym / dumbbells only]
Injuries or limits: [LIMITS]

Give me a weekly split with exercises, sets, reps and rest times for each day, plus a warm-up. Explain how to add weight or reps over the next 8 weeks, and give an easier swap for any exercise that is hard to learn. This is general guidance, so tell me to check with a doctor if I mention a health condition.

What you will get

A weekly split built for your goal, days and equipment, with exercises, sets, reps, rest times and a warm-up for each day, an 8-week plan for adding weight or reps and an easier swap for tricky moves.

Common mistake

The plan has more days or minutes than you can keep up.

Fix: Be honest in the days and minutes blanks. A plan of 3 days you finish beats a 6-day plan you drop in week two.

Also watch for

You list no injuries and the plan includes moves that hurt. Fill the injuries line with specifics, such as “sore left knee, no deep squats”, and ask for safe substitutes.
Technique notes are too short to follow. Follow the tip and ask a trainer to check your form. You can also reply “explain the setup and the three most common form mistakes for the first exercise”.

Try a variation: home workout version

Set equipment to “two adjustable dumbbells and a mat” and ask for “a progression using tempo and extra reps instead of heavier weights”.

Still not right? Reply with this

Rewrite the plan for 3 days a week with 45 minutes a session. Keep the same goal and swap any exercise that needs equipment I do not have.
