You can start an Apple Fitness+ workout from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Apple Fitness+ workouts are for all levels, so you can challenge yourself whether you’re just starting out or repeating your favorite workouts. In all workouts, additional trainers demonstrate modifications of the exercises to help you make the workout easier or more advanced. Trainers may also offer directions on how to modify an exercise, such as doing the movement with bodyweight instead of a dumbbell.
