## Prompt

```text
Help me build a gentle exercise routine I can do at home, mostly seated or holding onto support.

**Age:** [AGE]
**Current activity:** [e.g. "short walks a few times a week", "mostly sitting"]
**Health limits my doctor has mentioned:** [e.g. "knee replacement last year", "no heavy lifting" - or "none"]
**Balance:** [e.g. "steady", "a little wobbly", "use a walker"]
**Equipment:** [e.g. "sturdy chair without wheels, light water bottles"]
**Time per day:** [e.g. "15 minutes"]
**Goals:** [e.g. "get up from a chair easier", "feel steadier walking"]

Create:
1. A 15-20 minute routine in a table: exercise | how to do it (simple steps) | reps or time | easier version | harder version. Include warm-up, strength, balance (always with support in reach), flexibility, and cool-down.
2. A weekly schedule with rest days and how to progress slowly over 6 weeks.
3. Safety rules: a sturdy chair against a wall, breathing normally, moving within a comfortable range.
4. A simple log to track how I feel.

Tell me to check with my doctor before starting if I have heart, lung, joint, or balance conditions or recent surgery. Stop and seek help right away for chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath that doesn't settle, or sudden pain.
