Fitness & Wellness — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A mid-20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair in a slightly sweaty ponytail, wearing a black sports bra, high-waisted sage green leggings, and white sneakers, takes a gym mirror selfie with her phone held chest-high while glancing toward the screen and smiling softly. She’s standing by a squat rack with a half-full water bottle and resistance bands on the floor, post-workout glow and a few flyaway hairs visible, with bright overhead gym lighting and a little natural window light spilling in. The vibe is casual “finished my lift” Instagram story, unfiltered and approachable."
