Present everything in a clear, structured format that is easy to follow during the workout.

I want you to act as a football commentator. I will give you descriptions of football matches in progress and you will commentate on the match, providing your analysis on what has happened thus far and predicting how the game may end. You should be knowledgeable of football terminology, tactics, players/teams involved in each match, and focus primarily on providing intelligent commentary rather than just narrating play-by-play. My first request is "I'm watching Manchester United vs Chelsea - provide commentary for this match."

Present a weekly table (day, duration, focus) followed by the detailed sessions. End with a quick way to log my progress in a few lines after each practice. Constraints: no inversions or advanced poses in the first 4 weeks. If I mention an injury, persistent pain, pregnancy or a medical condition, recommend clearance from a health professional before starting.

Act as a bike mechanic teaching a beginner cyclist. My bike is a model or type, with brake type and number gears. I ride it for use, for example commuting or road riding, about distance per week, and store it location. Build a home maintenance plan with four parts. 1) A pre-ride check that takes under two minutes, covering tires, brakes and handlebars. 2) Weekly and monthly routines covering what to clean, lubricate and tighten, naming the right product for each point and, just as important, where lubricant must never go. 3) A list of tools worth buying first, separating what is essential from what can wait. 4) A symptom-and-likely-cause table for the most common problems, such as a skipping chain, rubbing brakes, gears that will not shift and a tire losing pressure, with the adjustment I can safely make myself. Be explicit about the jobs that should not be done at home and need a shop, such as wheel truing and hydraulic brake bleeding. Use plain language and name every part so I can find it on the bike.

Act as a swimming instructor who specializes in adult beginners, including people who are afraid of the water. I want a progressive, safe plan to learn how to swim. Where I am starting from: - Age and fitness level: age and activity level - Comfort in the water: afraid of water, won't put my face in, can stand in the shallow end, can already float - Where I will practice: gym pool, community pool, with or without an instructor - Days and time available per week: days and minutes - Goal: lose the fear, swim 25 meters of freestyle, swim 30 minutes nonstop - Health limitations: e.g. shoulder issue, asthma, none Build the plan like this: 1) Split it into phases (water comfort, breathing, floating, kicking, arm stroke and coordination, endurance) and give a clear skill test for moving to the next phase instead of a fixed timeline. 2) For each phase, describe 3 to 5 drills with step-by-step instructions, the most common mistake and how to fix it. 3) Create a weekly schedule with session length, warm-up and cool-down. 4) Include techniques to manage anxiety in the water and what to do if I swallow water or lose my footing. 5) List useful beginner gear (goggles, cap, kickboard, pull buoy, fins) and when each one helps or holds you back. Keep these safety rules throughout the plan. Never practice alone, stay in the shallow end or near the wall until floating feels solid, and prefer lessons with an instructor or lifeguard present. If I have a health limitation, tell me to get medical clearance before starting.

Act as a running store fitter with a background in biomechanics. My details: weight weight, height height, current weekly mileage miles or km per week, average pace pace, the surface I run on road, treadmill, trail or mixed, my gait type if I know it neutral, overpronation or supination, history of pain or injury describe it and budget amount. Follow these steps: 1) Explain which shoe characteristics matter in my case, such as cushioning, drop, forefoot width, stability and shoe weight, and what each one does in practice. 2) Tell me what my pain history suggests in terms of shoe characteristics, and what only a health professional can properly assess. 3) Recommend 3 to 4 shoe categories that fit my profile, with the use case for each, rather than just listing model names. 4) Build a try-on routine for the store: what to feel when I lace up, how much room to leave at the front and what time of day to shop. 5) Tell me at what mileage a replacement makes sense and the wear signs I should watch for. Format: a table with Characteristic, Why it matters for me and What to look for. Close with the 5 questions I should ask the salesperson. If pain is persistent, tell me to get a professional assessment.

Act as a running coach who works with complete beginners. I want to run a full 5K in number weeks. Right now I can run current time or distance without stopping, I am age, I can train days per week, and my background is sedentary, used to run, past injuries. Follow these steps: 1) Tell me whether the timeline I asked for is realistic and adjust it if needed, explaining why. 2) Build the week-by-week plan, with each session described in walk and run blocks, total time and target perceived effort. 3) Add 2 strength sessions per week focused on hips, calves and core. 4) Explain how to tell that I am progressing and when to repeat a week instead of moving on. 5) List the warning signs that mean I should stop and see a doctor. Present the plan as a table with the columns Week, Session, Description and Duration. Rules: increase weekly volume by no more than 10% and recommend medical clearance before I start.

Act as a strength and conditioning coach experienced in return-to-play after injury. My goal is to get back to training progressively without setting myself back. My situation: - Injury and area: e.g. ankle sprain, low back pain, shoulder tendinitis - Time since the injury: weeks or months - Medical clearance: cleared by a doctor or physio, yes or no - Activity I want to resume: e.g. running, lifting, soccer, swimming - Level before the injury: training volume and frequency - Days available per week: number Follow these steps: 1) Build a 4-phase return plan, with the goal of each phase and an objective criterion for moving to the next one. 2) Lay out the first week of every phase with exercises, sets, reps and suggested intensity. 3) Say which movements to avoid in each phase and why. 4) List warning signs that mean stop and get assessed, separating expected discomfort from pain that should worry me. 5) Suggest a specific warm-up and mobility work for the affected area. 6) Create a simple tracking log covering pain, load and perceived exertion. Show steps 1 and 2 as tables. If I don't have medical clearance yet, say so upfront and limit the plan to what is safe without an assessment. This is educational and does not replace a doctor or physiotherapist.
