...for a grand total of $1,280. All of that (a smartphone, a smartwatch, a streaming service to access thousands of workouts, and a top-rated exercise bike) is nearly half the cost of the fancy indoor cycling bike. At that rate, you could tack on Apple TV for $179, an iPad for $329, and a couple pairs of Lululemon leggings!
So, beyond the math, here's why Fitness+ just makes sense as a streaming service—even if you're new to fitness, new to Apple, or both:
1. You can do an effective workout in just 10 minutes.
Fitness+ is teeming with 10-minute routines (and longer) that you can squeeze in at any point in your day. In the app, the first method of navigation is to choose by workout type. From there, you can select your instructor, music (think yoga with Hip-Hop/R&B or Chill Vibes)—and time. As you exercise, you can view time elapsed or time left as one of the stats on the upper left-hand corner (it also defaults to heart rate and calories burned). You'll also hear when you're halfway done. And if you don’t even have 10 minutes, choose one of the 5-minute Mindful Cooldowns. They’ll make you feel less stressed, and it’s a nice thing to do before bed.
