Apple Fitness+ Progressive Strength Training Program Now Available

Apple Fitness+ introduced new workout programs today. The previously announced lineup of content includes a new progressive strength training program designed to take the guesswork out of putting together the perfect routine, along with a conditioning program for pickleball.

Apple describes the new strength training course in its press release as follows:

Fitness+ unveils an all-new progressive strength program that guides users through the process of building and maintaining strength, with a focus on efficiency. The three-week guided program targets every major muscle group with 12 30-minute workouts: Progressive Overload (Week One), Time Under Tension (Week Two), and Dynamic Power (Week Three). Designed for results and repeatability, this foundational fitness routine is one that users can return to, adjusting weights as they grow stronger.

Alongside strength training, Apple has also introduced a new pickleball program designed to improve strength, endurance, and agility, as well as new workshop-style sessions called Yoga Peak Poses, which spotlight a single pose to help users build confidence and skill. There's also a new Introduction to Breath Meditation program. (Note that Breath is now a meditation theme in Fitness+, joining Calm, Sleep, and Sound.)

The new content is available to Apple Fitness+ subscribers from today on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Also starting Monday, Strava users can now share a Fitness+ workout directly to the Strava app, which will display rich details such as episode image and number, trainer name, and metrics to show to their Strava community.

I don't get the whole "pickleball" craze we are going through. It is taking over small town rural America and staining the moral fabric (flannel) of an entire generation.

Doctors and PT's must love it

Older folks getting into something like Pickleball out of the blue are injuries waiting to happen

Not an "if", but a "when"
As an aging adult I've been through multiple injuries and setbacks when I cut 70lbs and got ripped over past 3 years. Totally worth it. Anyone trying to better themselves need encouraged until they are injured. "No rest till injury" is my motto.

I like Starting Strength.

The routine is super easy and focus on few exercises that use the most muscles. It’s A and B day, 3X per week for proper recovery. Easy to do, you just need to write down your progress.

Ironic, considering that Bodybuilding.com is based in Boise!
Definitely some bodies being “built” :D

Bravo to you!

Where I am (in Idaho, USA), just about everyone I see could stand to cut at least 25lbs and often a LOT more

Seems like a medical/insurance disaster waiting to happen with this much of the population out of shape and overweight
Oh the disaster is happening..... hope you don't need real medical care soon!
