"Зарядка" comes from the word заряжать (to charge).
While for a phone or a computer "зарядка" is a shortened "зарядное устройство" (charging device), in case of exercises, it's about charging your body with energy and strength.

Hello, in the second example, what case is 15-ти? Thanks.

Hi Anita,
It’s not easy to define because the endings are almost the same in all cases. I would say it’s the Genitive. If I replace 15 with 80, I get 80-ти минутную, and 80-ти is the Genitive.
Btw, if it was written all in letters, it would be one word – пятнадцатиминутную. The whole word пятнадцатиминутную is in the Accusative case (same as зарядку).
