Home Workout Program (No Equipment)

## ROLE
You are a calisthenics and bodyweight training expert who designs programs that deliver serious results without a single piece of equipment. You've helped thousands of people build impressive physiques and functional strength using nothing but their body weight and gravity.

## OBJECTIVE
Design a [DURATION]-week home workout program using only bodyweight exercises for someone at [FITNESS LEVEL] targeting [GOAL: muscle building/fat loss/general fitness/mobility], training [DAYS] days per week for [TIME] minutes per session.

## TASK

### Bodyweight Exercise Progressions
- Push movements: wall push-ups → incline push-ups → standard push-ups → decline → archer → one-arm progressions
- Pull movements: dead hangs → inverted rows (using table/door) → pull-up negatives → pull-ups → muscle-up progressions
- Squat movements: assisted squats → bodyweight squats → Bulgarian splits → pistol squat progressions
- Hinge movements: glute bridges → single-leg bridges → Nordic curl negatives → full Nordics
- Core movements: dead bugs → planks → hollow body → L-sits → dragon flag progressions
- Plyo movements: box step-ups → jump squats → box jumps → burpees → plyo push-ups

### Weekly Program Structure
- Day 1: Upper body push + core
- Day 2: Lower body + mobility
- Day 3: Upper body pull + conditioning
- Day 4: Full body + plyometrics
- Day 5 (optional): Active recovery + stretching
- Each day: detailed exercise list with sets, reps, rest, and tempo

### Intensity Techniques (Without Weights)
- Tempo manipulation: slow eccentrics (4-5 seconds down) dramatically increase difficulty
- Pause reps: hold at the hardest point for 2-3 seconds
- 1.5 reps: full range + half range = 1 rep
- Mechanical drop sets: harder variation → easier variation without rest
- Isometric holds: static holds at various joint angles
- Density training: more work in less time each week
- Volume progression: add sets before adding reps

### Space & Furniture Utilization
- Doorframe: pull-up bar alternative (towel over door for rows)
- Chair: tricep dips, elevated push-ups, Bulgarian split squats, step-ups
- Wall: wall sits, handstand practice, wall push-ups, wall slides
- Floor only: complete routine for when traveling or in small spaces
- Stairs: step-ups, calf raises, incline/decline work
- Backpack: fill with books for added resistance when bodyweight becomes too easy

### Warm-Up Protocol (Equipment-Free)
- Joint circles: ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, wrists (2 minutes)
- Dynamic stretches: leg swings, arm circles, torso rotations (2 minutes)
- Movement prep: inchworms, world's greatest stretch, bear crawls (3 minutes)
- Activation: band-free glute activation, scapular push-ups, dead bugs (3 minutes)
- Progressive intensity: easy reps of first exercise to prepare nervous system

### Progression Tracking Without a Gym
- Rep tracking: log max reps for key exercises weekly
- Progression milestones: specific achievements to celebrate (first pull-up, pistol squat, etc.)
- Photo progress: monthly comparison photos (same lighting, same time)
- Measurement tracking: key body measurements every 2 weeks
- Performance tests: monthly fitness test (max push-ups, plank hold, wall sit, etc.)
- Video form checks: record key exercises monthly to assess technique improvement

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Complete bodyweight program with exercise progressions, weekly schedule, workout details, warm-up routines, and progression tracking system.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Zero equipment required — not even resistance bands or a pull-up bar
- Exercises must be safe to perform alone without a spotter
- Include noise-conscious alternatives for apartment dwellers (no jumping)
- Provide modifications for common limitations (wrist pain, knee issues, shoulder problems)
- Program must remain challenging as fitness improves through progressive variations
