The prompt

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

Write me a simple 30-minute walking workout for a beginner in her late 60s, to build aerobic fitness gently. Start with 5 minutes of easy walking to warm up, then alternate a few minutes of brisk, purposeful walking (heart-rate Zone 2 — breathing a little harder but still able to talk) with easy walking to recover, building the brisk portions up over time, then an easy cool-down and a few gentle standing stretches. Give each block a duration and a target heart-rate zone or effort.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Regular moderate activity like brisk walking counts toward the ~150 minutes a week that supports heart health and healthy ageing, and weight-bearing walking gently loads the skeleton. Build the brisk intervals up gradually.
