Fitness+ is great and I have it for free until 14 April

I tried some beginner workouts and they went fine so thought I’ll do one of the big boy ones today. Oh God I’m dying

God that’s been my experience too. There’s definitely a big leap in effort from the beginner to regular ones.

My legs.

I think the 10 minute beginner HIIT is getting old for me and I don’t find it too challenging; but I don’t quite have 20 minutes for the next one so I’d like a 10 minute intermediate option before they kill me

I haven’t seen 185 bpm on my watch since… ever?

you used up 200Gb? mind me asking what you use it for?

Photos, backups, documents from my Mac - I guess having iCloud Drive on my Mac is what take up the most.

The 30 minute strength exercises are good, depends on how much weight you add to make it challenging, using those to compliment the running

Shifting the discussion over here, where it’s more suitable, so we don’t flood the Netflix chat with Apple One stuff! :sweat_smile:

You’d have to weigh up which of the other services you want, and If you have family or friends to share the cost with. If it’s just fitness+ and music, they’ll be cheaper separately. You can get a pretty sweet discount on fitness+ if you pay annually too.

I realise I’m very late here, and you probably realised this, but I see it mentioned a lot and I had this issue when I first started with it too so thought I’d reply anyway with what worked for me. I felt the beginner ones were very well done and noob friendly, but the second you go to the proper stuff it almost felt like they expect your to know all the moves already.

I presume like me, you were following the middle trainer, or perhaps moved onto the the right side one, and were then going straight to the same when you moved onto the regular workouts, because I workout all the time, HIIT will be easy! Yeah, right. A tip I got was to start by following the trainer on the left, and it made a massive difference in my ability to get to grips and learn the routine enough that I could do it properly, keep up, and follow the middle trainer.

Seems good value.

Any recommendations on EarPods?

WF1000XM3 look a good buy for reasonable money:

AirPods Pro if budget allows. Never fall out and noise cancellation is great.

I think I can get discount, I’ll check it out.

Do apple pods work with other phones? I’ve a habit of changing between android and iPhone so be worth getting something that can do both.

Yup they work with both types of phone. You just have to press the Bluetooth connect button on the back when using with an android phone.

Love my AirPods Pro. But if I wasn’t using an iPhone and iPad I’d be getting these.

We have the middle tier of Apple One, I wish I could swap out arcade for News+ or Fitness+ though.

I’ve not tried it in anything other than a cycling workout yet, but the new Audio Hints feature is very handy. I think it’s in the subtitles options when a workout is running.

Basically a stern robot voiceover gives you clearer instructions about what you should be doing right now in case you didn’t catch the trainer saying it while they’re banging on about how thankful they are about everything.

There was some discussion of Apple increasing prices elsewhere on the forum. Got the notification today that from end of November my One price will go up by £3

Apple Music price has gone up, I wonder if EE will still give it as a smart benefit

Where did you get this? I haven’t got anything yet.
