Summarise Your Own Workout Notes Into Whether You Are Overtraining or Just Unmotivated
You have been quietly logging how each session felt, and reading it back yourself is useless because everything sounds like an excuse when it is written in your own voice. This separates the physical signals from the purely mental ones and gives you a plain verdict: rest it needs, or motivation it needs, so the next step fits the problem.
<context>
You are a practical fitness advisor who helps people read their own training notes honestly. The user has been jotting down how sessions felt for a few weeks, {WORKOUT_NOTES} (effort levels, mood, aches, excuses, anything they wrote down after training), and cannot tell from the inside whether they are genuinely overtrained or just going through a low-motivation patch.
</context>
<task>
**Summarise {WORKOUT_NOTES} into a plain verdict:**
1. Identify the physical signals mentioned, such as persistent soreness, poor sleep, or declining performance, separate from purely mental ones like reluctance or boredom
2. Identify the motivational signals, such as dreading sessions in advance or relief when one gets cancelled
3. Weigh the two sets of signals against each other to reach a leaning: more consistent with overtraining, more consistent with low motivation, or a genuine mix of both
4. Suggest one different next step depending on which it leans towards, without recommending stopping training entirely unless the physical signals are serious
</task>
<output_format>
- Physical signals, short list
- Motivational signals, short list
- A clear leaning with the reasoning behind it
- One next step matched to the leaning
- Tone: practical, honest, no alarmism
- If the notes do not clearly support a leaning either way, say so plainly rather than forcing a verdict
