            New Apple Fitness+ Perk Encourages Users to Take a Hike

   Josh Centers

   Apple has announced a new perk for Apple Fitness+ subscribers: Time to
   Walk, a mixed-media audio experience where celebrities tell stories,
   share photos, and play some of their favorite tracks. It's part
   podcast, part slideshow, and part playlist, with the goal being to
   encourage subscribers to listen while going for a walk. In a nice
   accessibility touch, if you use a wheelchair, the feature becomes Time
   to Push and initiates a wheelchair workout.

   If you subscribe to Apple Fitness+, the episodes will be automatically
   loaded onto your Apple Watch. Episodes are available in the Workouts
   app, and playing an episode starts a walking workout.

   The first episodes feature country star Dolly Parton, NBA player
   Draymond Green, musician Shawn Mendes, and Emmy Award winner Uzo Aduba.
   Apple says it will publish new episodes every Monday through April
   2021. If you listen to these, let us know what you think in the
   comments.
