It is next Monday, December 14, that we can burn a maximum of calories in front of Apple Fitness + video classes! At least if you live in the handful of countries where the service is offered: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

Sport to perform in front of your TV, iPad or iPhone, at the office, at the hotel, or more certainly at home due to the pandemic.
Sport at home, this is timely as the health crisis, far from over, pushes everyone to stay at home! In an interview with Wall Street Journal, Jay Blahnik, director of fitness technology at Apple, l’assure : « It looks like people think we started Fitness + because of the Covid, but we are working [sur ce service] for a long, long time “. Recording of the first lessons actually started before the epidemic hit Los Angeles, where Apple’s studios are located. Sanitary precautions have since been taken.
The head of Apple, who helped Nike launch its run tracking program in the early 2000s, confirms the central role the Apple Watch will play in Fitness +: ” Readings respond to what coaches say and what the user does. We think this makes [Fitness+] much more immersive than following the video like everywhere else “. This also means that the courses will only be accessible to owners of Apple Watch.
In return, many of them will not require any sports equipment. In some cases, however, you will need to have dumbbells on hand, or a yoga mat. In others, a treadmill, rower or stationary bike. Blahnik also highlights the recommendation engine to test courses. ” If you tend to do linear exercises like running or cycling, we might suggest interval training or yoga, to make your body move differently ».
The service is aimed at all athletes, but also at new recruits. Fitness + was designed for “ inspire more people to be and stay fit, to make workouts a part of their lives , According to Blahnik. The service will be available in the Fitness app on iPhone, and it will also be offered for iPad and Apple TV. You must have at least an Apple Watch Series 3. The manufacturer offers 3 months of free trial for any purchase of a watch (from Series 3), as well as a month of trial if you already have one.
