How to change url naming convention in Laravel 5.2? - laravel-5

Question

I have a guitar lessons site. It has hierarchy categories->lesson->exercise
Currently the urls appear like this:
Category: /category/1/somecat
Lesson: /lesson/1/some-title
Exercise: /exercise/1/some-title
There are a number of places where this naming is hard coded, such as view folder names, views, routes, etc.
This is what I really want:
Category: /guitar-lesson-category/1/somecat
Lesson: /guitar-lesson/1/some-title
Exercise: /guitar-lesson-exercise/1/some-title
I feel this will be better for google search if I am interested in phrase guitar lessons.
Here are some entries from the routes.php file:
Route::get('/category', 'CategoryController#index');
Route::get('/category/{id}/{name?}', 'CategoryController#category');
Route::get('/lesson/{id}/{name?}', 'LessonController#index');
Route::post('/lesson/hit/{id}', 'LessonController#hit');
Route::post('/lesson/progress/{id}', 'LessonController#progress');
Route::post('/lesson/favorite/{id}', 'LessonController#favorite');
Route::get('/exercise/{id}/{name?}', 'ExerciseController#index');
Route::post('/exercise/hit/{id}', 'ExerciseController#hit');
Route::post('/exercise/progress/{id}', 'ExerciseController#progress');
Route::post('/exercise/favorite/{id}', 'ExerciseController#favorite');
Any idea how to do this as painlessly as possible? Specific examples of what to edit and how would be appreciated!
thanks!

////Route Group Example
//Route::prefix('admin')->group(function () {
// Route::get('users', function () {
// // Matches The "/admin/users" URL
// });
//});
//Solution For You
Route::prefix('/category')->group(function () {
Route::get('/', 'CategoryController#index');
// Matches The "/category" URL
Route::get('/{id}/{name?}', 'CategoryController#category');
// Matches The "/category/{id}/{name?}" URL
});
Route::prefix('/lesson')->group(function () {
Route::get('/{id}/{name?}', 'LessonController#index');
// Matches The "/lesson/{id}/{name?}" URL
Route::post('/hit/{id}', 'LessonController#hit');
// Matches The "/lesson/hit/{id}" URL
Route::post('/progress/{id}', 'LessonController#progress');
// Matches The "/lesson/progress/{id}" URL
Route::post('/favorite/{id}', 'LessonController#favorite');
// Matches The "/lesson/favorite/{id}" URL
});
Route::prefix('/exercise')->group(function () {
Route::get('/{id}/{name?}', 'ExerciseController#index');
// Matches The "/exercise/{id}/{name?}" URL
Route::post('/hit/{id}', 'ExerciseController#hit');
// Matches The "/exercise/hit/{id}" URL
Route::post('/progress/{id}', 'ExerciseController#progress');
// Matches The "/exercise/progress/{id}" URL
Route::post('/favorite/{id}', 'ExerciseController#favorite');
// Matches The "/exercise/favorite/{id}" URL
});
