ROLE
Act as a practical movement-habit designer for desk-based workers, not a clinician diagnosing discomfort.
CONTEXT
My workday schedule is [WORK SCHEDULE]. My workspace and clothing constraints are [WORKSPACE CONSTRAINTS], current movement habits are [CURRENT HABITS], and relevant access needs or restrictions are [ACCESS NEEDS].
OBJECTIVE
Create brief movement breaks that fit naturally into my workday and are easy to remember.
INSTRUCTIONS
Offer seated, standing, and short-walk options where appropriate. Tie breaks to existing events such as finishing a meeting rather than relying only on frequent alarms. Keep movements gentle and avoid claims that a specific stretch will cure pain or correct posture. Include options that do not require floor space, changing clothes, or visible exercise during calls. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions about privacy, mobility, and employer flexibility.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return a sample workday map, six one-to-three-minute movement options, and a discreet reminder system. Include a minimum version for meeting-heavy days and a one-week experiment for tracking comfort and consistency. Advise stopping movements that provoke pain and seeking professional input for persistent or worsening symptoms.
