The prompt

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

I'm a teenager new to exercise and I want a fun, scalable 20-minute conditioning workout using game-style intervals (no equipment, can be done in a yard, gym or living room). Warm-up (4 min): jog in place, high knees, arm swings, 10 air squats. Main (12 min): give me 4-5 playful intervals like 'beat your last round' shuttle touches, 'floor is lava' quick step-ups, animal-style movement bursts, and a 'how many in 30s' challenge — each 30s hard effort then 30-60s easy walk/recover, repeated so total work is about 12 minutes. Tell me to push to roughly 7-8 out of 10 effort (breathing hard but not all-out) on the hard bits and to fully ease off on recoveries, and give a simpler and a harder version of each so I can match my fitness. Cool-down (4 min): walk and stretch. Keep it light-hearted and motivating.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Short, intermittent bursts of higher-effort activity broken up by easy recovery are an efficient way to build aerobic fitness, and low-volume interval formats improve fitness in beginners. Making intervals playful and scalable is mainly about adherence and enjoyment rather than a separate proven effect, but for a teenager starting out, the workout you'll actually keep doing is the one that helps.
