The prompt

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

Write me a 35-minute easy aerobic workout for a man in his 60s, on a treadmill, bike or elliptical, to build heart and lung fitness. Keep it at a conversational pace (heart-rate Zone 2, RPE about 11 to 13 out of 20) with a gentle warm-up and cool-down, and the main block steady. Aim to do this 3 to 5 times a week. 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

Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the strongest predictors of lower death rates from all causes and from heart disease. Easy, conversational aerobic exercise several times a week steadily builds it.
