The prompt

Copy the complete prompt (it wraps the request below so the AI returns a clean, runnable session).

Write me a 15-minute beginner HIIT session I can do at home with no equipment. Use 20 seconds of work then 40 seconds rest, 8 to 12 rounds, with simple low-to-moderate-impact moves like marching high knees, step-ups, fast bodyweight squats and modified jacks. Keep the work hard for me but the rests generous, and tell me to build the intensity over the weeks. Build it as timed rounds and list each move in order with its work and rest in seconds.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Even short, low-volume intervals build fitness efficiently — a generous 1:2 work-to-rest ratio keeps it doable for a beginner while you raise the intensity over time.
