Movement Sequences with Clear Intention
You did a random routine (L01). You reflected on what works and doesn't (L02). You understand how AI 'thinks' about movement (L03). Now: the return match. You write a prompt that describes a specific, intentional movement sequence.
The Principle: Clarity → Output Quality
In K01-L04 (text) and K02-L04 (music) and K03-L04 (image) you already learned: Your clarity is the variable.
Now you repeat this with movement. But with one difference: movement is harder to describe. A clear image description is relatively concrete. A movement sequence is abstract — unless you describe it very precisely.
The Three Scenarios — Choose One
Each scenario has a weak prompt and a strong prompt. The difference is your clarity about your goal.
Scenario 1: Morning Routine for Desk Workers with Back Pain
You work at a desk. Your back hurts. You need a 5-minute routine that:
- Gently mobilizes your spine
- Releases your shoulders (where tension accumulates)
- Opens your hips (where stiffness accumulates)
- No jumping, no lying on your belly
- Doable in business clothes (shirt, pants)
Weak prompt: "Give me a morning routine for back pain."
Strong prompt: "Write a 5-minute morning routine for someone with back pain who works at a desk. The routine should focus on: (1) gentle spine mobility, (2) shoulder release, (3) hip opening. No jumping, no belly push-ups. The person wears business clothes and can make noise. Format: 8 to 10 steps with brief, clear instructions per step."
The difference: The weak prompt gives AI no boundaries. AI could write you a high-intensity workout with burpees (not good for back pain). The strong prompt is a contract: AI knows exactly what you want and can deliver it.
Scenario 2: 5-Minute Party Dance Warm-Up for Children
You need a routine to:
- Get a group of children (8-12 years) energized and having fun
- Encourage them to dance (even if shy)
- Simple enough they understand it within a minute
- Fun and playful
- With or without music
Weak prompt: "Give me a fun dance warm-up for kids."
Strong prompt: "Write a 5-minute dance warm-up for a group of children (8-12 years). Goals: energy, confidence, fun, even for shy kids. The routine should consist of 6 to 8 simple dance steps or movement games. Each step should: (a) be explainable in 30 seconds, (b) be fun, (c) build kids' confidence. Format: A numbered list with step, movement description, and brief note (e.g., 'The Giant Step: big leg up, then other leg, slow and silly, make spooky sounds'). Works with or without music."
The difference: The weak prompt gives AI no info about audience or goal. The strong prompt tells AI: age, context, duration, format, level. AI can deliver precisely.
Scenario 3: A Wind-Down Routine Before Sleep
You need a routine to:
- Relax your body before sleep
- Calm your nervous system
- Slow, quiet, no adrenaline
- No equipment, in your bedroom
- 10 minutes
Weak prompt: "Give me a sleep routine."
Strong prompt: "Write a 10-minute wind-down routine for someone who wants to release stress and relax before sleep. Focus on: (1) slow, deep breathing, (2) progressive muscle relaxation or stretching, (3) calming the nervous system. The routine should: be very slow, quiet, no adrenaline, no equipment, doable in a bedroom, no sweating. Format: 8 to 10 steps with duration per step. At the end: a brief relaxation position for lying down."
The difference: The weak prompt is vague. The strong prompt tells AI: context, duration, focus areas, tempo, location, desired outcome.
The Checklist: How You Write a Strong Movement Prompt
Your prompt should answer these questions:
1. Who is the target audience?
- Age, fitness level, special conditions (back pain, pregnancy, arthritis, beginners)?
2. What's the goal?
- Warm up? Relax? Learn dance? Reduce stress? Boost energy?
3. How long?
- 3, 5, 10, 15 minutes?
4. What constraints?
- No jumping? No floor work? No loud sounds? Limited space?
5. Context?
- Morning in bed? At work? In the park? At home with kids?
6. Tempo and tone?
- Fast and energetic? Slow and meditative? Fun and playful?
7. Format?
- How many steps? Should each step be explained? With or without video?
An Example: The Perfect Prompt
"Write an 8-minute yoga routine for someone who has never done yoga, who wants to become flexible but is a beginner. The routine should focus on: gentle leg and back stretching, simple breathing, relaxation. No difficult balancing, no headstands. Format: 6 to 8 poses, each 60-90 seconds, with clear, simple instructions. At the end: 2-minute relaxation."
This prompt has everything:
- Target audience: Beginners, never done yoga
- Goal: flexibility, relaxation
- Duration: 8 minutes
- Constraints: No balancing, no headstands
- Format: 6-8 poses, 60-90 seconds each
- Clear boundaries: What's NOT included (balancing, headstands)
AI will write you a precise routine that fits.
The Return Match: Before vs. After
Compare the routine from L01 (blind, random) with the routine from L04 (with clarity, intentional).
Questions:
- Is the L04 routine more specifically aligned with your goal?
- Does it fit your situation better?
- Are the instructions clearer?
- Do you have fewer questions?
The point: Your clarity in the description determines the quality of AI's output.
It's not the AI quality that varies. It's your input.
With a clear, intentional prompt (target audience, goal, duration, constraints, context) you get a movement routine that fits precisely. Your clarity is the variable, not the AI.
