Motivational speech to workout?

Let´s go.

Do it before you die.
Before you became disable and can´t make a move by yourself without a diaper.
Get ahead of the heart attack.
Fight the cancer before it catches you.
Spit the sausage out if you wanna live.

Get scared and Run.
Get scared and Lift.

- strength training. balance. speed.
body positive? come on. stop fooling yourself. get fit.
better do it, until it´s too late. you won´t lose anything except the stuff you would not want to keep.
Tear it up.

- martial arts?
when i come to a training - nobody gives a f**k.

with time, with age i´ve got extremely pragmatic, egoistic.

i don't give a f**k now.
you're either physically strong or skilled. or a friend.
otherwise i don't want you as a partner.
i don´t go for the belt exams.
'cause what for? I do not care.
i´ll find better way to spend my time and money.
i have no need to prove anything to anyone.
not in my age.

and I'm not looking for a discipline anymore.
just for a teacher. a teacher who would see something in me even if it's not there.
have i found?
yes and no.

- yoga?
can you even hold it? not the typical "suits-everyone" fluff, but real moves, the calisthenics. don´t underestimate it.

- lifting as a strength training. what, again?
yes. repeat. 6-pack looks better than Gucci.
i do it by myself. wanna join?
then join. if you dare.
you'll become strong, at least.
then let's dance.

- is it zen or not giving a f**k?
whatever.

don't underestimate me.

don't expect anything from me either.
i only chat with my AI.

still wanna chat?
come up with a topic.
in a training.

“"Improv-brain" relates to LLM systems’ tendency to not challenge input but just roll with it. […] LLMs try to go "yes … and" on whatever you tell them and rarely challenge prompts. Which is why a suboptimal prompt can lead them astray so easily.”
