New year, new workouts. iDownloadBlog has a write-up of a bunch of new offerings for Apple Fitness+. Starting slow with something we know, the piece says Time to Walk is back for a third season. According to the piece, the new season of Time to Walk will include “such celebrity guests as Rebel Wilson, Bernice A. King, and Hasan Minhaj…” 

If walking is not your speed, maybe it’s time to run. This one’s a tiny bit confusing. According to Apple’s announcement:

Time to Run on Fitness+ is a new audio running experience designed to help users become more consistent and better runners, with each episode focused on a popular running route in some of the most notable and iconic locations.

London first, then Brooklyn, then Miami Beach, according to iDownloadBlog. I assume they’re “inspired by” not, “you have to be those places.” I might try it and see.

Next up - New Artist Spotlight workouts, featuring the music of Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams, Shakira, and the Beatles. Those will be coming out once a week each Monday, according to the report.

Finally - Collections. According to iDownloadBlog:

Collections is a feature that brings in one place a curated selection of workouts and meditations from the library of 2,000 studio-style workouts and guided meditations. Best of all, collections organize this content in a way that helps you reach specific goals.

That does sound cool. Collections include:

  • 30-Day Core Challenge

  • Improve Your Posture with Pilates

  • Perfect Your Yoga Balance Poses

  • Run Your First 5K

  • Strengthen Your Back, Stretch Your Hips

  • Wind Down for a Better Bedtime

An Apple Fitness+ subscription is required for all of the new guidance and workouts. An Apple Watch Series 3 or later is require for Apple Fitness+. The new offerings should start rolling out today - Monday 10 January - according to the report.
