Title: Apple's New 'Time to Walk' Feature Launches Today for Fitness+ Subscribers Post by: HCK on January 26, 2021, 04:05:10 pm Apple's New 'Time to Walk' Feature Launches Today for Fitness+ Subscribers
Apple today officially introduced Time to Walk (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/01/time-to-walk-an-inspiring-audio-walking-experience-comes-to-apple-fitness-plus/), a new feature for Apple Fitness+ subscribers with audio stories from influential people that Apple Watch users can listen to with AirPods or other wireless headphones while walking. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2021/01/apple_time-to-walk_apple-watch-airpods_01252021_inline.jpg.large_.jpg) Time to Walk episodes will be automatically downloaded to the Apple Watch with a Fitness+ subscription, and users can start an episode directly from the Workout app. New episodes ranging from 25 to 40 minutes in length will appear in the Workout app from a different guest each Monday through the end of April, according to Apple. Apple says each episode will be shaped by the guest's "personal, life-shaping moments" and include "lessons learned, meaningful memories, thoughts on purpose and gratitude, moments of levity, and other thought-provoking topics." Each episode will be complemented by photos that appear on the Apple Watch, and end with a short playlist of songs selected by the guest that users can listen to as they complete their Walk workout. Time to Walk launches today with four episodes from the following guests: - <strong>Country music star Dolly Parton</strong> has won nine GRAMMYs and is also a celebrated actor, businessperson, and humanitarian. Dolly reflects on her career, family, and growing up in rural Tennessee. "I've loved walking ever since I was a little girl in the Smoky Mountains," Parton says. "I think it's so important to be able to get out and walk if we can during this time. I do my best thinking when I walk. And while many of us feel confined during this time, I'm hopeful that people will take a walk down memory lane with me and we can all feel a little more freedom taking the time to walk together."An equivalent Time to Push feature will be available for wheelchair users. Apple Fitness+ launched last month, providing subscribers with access to a library of workout videos, with new content added on a weekly basis. Fitness+ integrates personal metrics such as heart rate from the Apple Watch to motivate users, animating them on the screen during key moments in the workout. Time to Walk will be unique given that the workouts can be completed outdoors without needing to watch a screen. Apple Fitness+ is currently available in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. After a one-month trial, the service is priced at $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year in the United States.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: Apple Watch Series 6 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/)</div><div class="linkback">Tag: Apple Fitness Plus (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-fitness-plus/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Neutral) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Apple_Watch)</div> This article, "Apple's New 'Time to Walk' Feature Launches Today for Fitness+ Subscribers (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/01/25/apple-fitness-time-to-walk-launches-today/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apples-new-time-to-walk-feature-launches-today-for-fitness-subscribers.2281793/) in our forums <div class="feedflare"> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=gPjXSTVFeTU:OfrW4p4UgWE:yIl2AUoC8zA) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=6W8y8wAjSf4" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=gPjXSTVFeTU:OfrW4p4UgWE:6W8y8wAjSf4) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=gPjXSTVFeTU:OfrW4p4UgWE:qj6IDK7rITs) </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MacRumors-Front/~4/gPjXSTVFeTU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> Source: Apple's New 'Time to Walk' Feature Launches Today for Fitness+ Subscribers (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/01/25/apple-fitness-time-to-walk-launches-today/) |
