Fitness Weekly Discussion
What have you been doing lately for your own fitness? Try out any new programs or exercises? Have any questions for others about your training? Want to vent about poor behavior in the gym? Started a new diet or have a new recipe you want to share? Anything else health and wellness related?
Did well last week. Stuck to the morning exercise routine for the 5 work days. Doing Apple Fitness workouts with a custom plan:
Five-minute breathing after (except for Wednesdays).
This week I did well until today. I didn't feel great yesterday, and skipped this morning's workout in favour of some extra sleep.
Dog walks most evenings add to the routine. It's working out well. The tougher adjustment is waking up at 5:30 instead of 6:00/6:30. Otherwise I start work way too late.
Do I love Apple Fitness? Would I recommend it? Ehhh... it's fine. Gets me moving and lifting weights, has yoga too, and by now they have a fairly large library of videos so it does not feel too repetitive. Feels as bit staged sometimes, and I'd prefer some option to pick your own music. I always have to filter some genres that I just don't want to hear as I'm working out. Would be cool if the workouts had no music, and just let you pick your own soundtrack instead. It's all in their ecosystem... could show you your Apple Music library in the Fitness app. It does let you pick an automatic playlist when you start a custom workout, say "Outdoor Run". Why not add this to their own workout videos?
