You can follow along with your favorite workouts at home. The best part is that minimal equipment is required at home and mainly, the workouts are exercises.
Workout With Your Apple Watch
As mentioned earlier, the Fitness+ service was launched alongside the Apple Watch Series 6. It makes more sense to workout with the wearable as it would record all the necessary details according to the workout being performed. The Apple Watch integration with the Fitness+ is better than ever as it will measure workout length, tracks your movements, calories burned, heart rate, and much more.
You can access the workout stats on the Apple Watch and it will be available on your iPhone as well as your iPad and Apple TV. The information and stats are updated in real-time so you can keep a check on what portion of the workout session you should focus on. You will see animations on display when you close a workout ring to keep you motivated. Take note that an Apple Watch is required for the workouts to happen and you won't be able to use the service without it.
Starting Your First Workout
You can initiate the Fitness+ workout from the Fitness+ section in the app on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. When you start a workout on the said devices, it will also be initiated on your Apple Watch and the stats and devised metrics will be shared in real-time on all devices.
Video Categories for Fitness
There are many videos to choose from and some of the categories include Treadmill Walk and Treadmill Run, Dance, Cycling, Yoga, Strength, Core, Mindful Cooldown, and HIIT Rowing. While you mostly don't need equipment for workouts, you would want some for the Treadmill Walk, Treadmill Run, Cycling, and Rowing. You might also need a yoga mat for yoga workouts and dumbells for building strength.
You can watch and perform workouts in your home, park, hotel, or anywhere that you see fit, and best of all, you can use the Fitness+ at the gym. It's like having a dedicated assistant or a trainer on your wrist.
Starting With Fitness+
When watching Fitness videos, there will be different trainers on screen at the same time and one of those trainers will be doing a less taxing version of the exercise. You can choose to start your workout. There are videos with less time, so if you're interested you can do those and leave the straining ones for when you're used to it or ready. There are Fitness level options so you can select the one with the beginner approach to the workouts.
Integration With Apple Music
Fitness+ videos will pull songs from Apple Music which can be listened to by users who have not subscribed to the service. However, Apple Music subscribers have the option available to download the playlists outside of the Fitness+ service. You can choose the type of music based on your workout as well.
After Workout Stats and Weekly Updates
Once you're done with the workout, you will see the stats or summary with all of your workout metrics in a single place. Apple has also put weekly content updates in place for new videos and trainers so you can do something different every day. You will also see suggestions and workout recommendations for the videos that you should try out. The suggestions will be based on the Workout app on your Apple Watch.
