- If you’re like me, sometimes weight and fitness can be a struggle. Especially when you’re trying to motivate yourself without a trainer, it’s so very easy to say I’ll do it tomorrow.
That said, I’m SUPER motivated to close my rings every day on Apple Watch, and I’m currently on a streak of 377 days of closing the Move ring without fail. The stand ring is normally filled at 12 hours by mid-afternoon. Gamification is real and motivates me. And now Apple has brought that to Workouts too. Later in the video I’ll give you the top 5 reasons I think Apple Fitness+ is well worth a look.
Apple Fitness+ Custom Plans
It’s said that building a new habit takes 21 days. That’s both really quick and a lot of days that you can just forget that you had something to do before it’s a part of your routine. But with iOS 17 Apple released a new feature for Fitness+ which I didn’t hear about, so maybe you didn’t either. Apple Fitness+ Custom Plans lets you build a routine super easily and quickly, keeping you on track and guiding you through your fitness journey.
On your iPhone or iPad, assuming you’re subscribed to Fitness+, tap on Custom Plans in the Fitness app, pick your weekly schedule with which days you want to work out (and rest days are important too), how many minutes a day, and then what kind of workouts you want to do. If you have a stationary bike at home (or want to do this at the gym) then great, but there are plenty of workouts with just a pair of dumbells, or a mat, or no equipment at all. You can choose up to 5, and I’ve gone for Core, High-intensity interval training, strength, mindful cooldown and Yoga, and I’ve just set a two-week plan this time. That way I can switch up the activities if I’m not feeling them, The last time I gave this a go I found I just didn’t enjoy the kickboxing workouts and that threw me off a bit.
You can add in extra activities whenever you want, and even pick your favourite trainers and music styles for each type of workout. But here’s the really useful part - it will remind you when you’re getting towards the evening automatically if you’ve not done the scheduled workouts, helping to keep you on track. If you’re like me, that little push of social pressure, even if it’s just from your device is often enough to make you do it. And yes, I sometimes find myself working out at 11 pm, but it’s still a win. It’s still done. That’s the point.
So the top 5 reasons that Apple Fitness+ is a great way to at least start your fitness journey?
5: It’s pretty great value! It’s 9.99 a month or 79.99 a year, vs about 40-45 a month for a gym membership here in the UK. Of course, you don’t get access to all the kit or those oh-so-nice communal showers, but your own shower is much closer. Plus, you can share that membership with up to 6 family members on Apple’s family plan for no extra cost!
4: Work out wherever you are! For a lot of people, going and working out with other people in a communal gym can be intimidating. Maybe you’re worried about the way you look, or that you don’t know how to use the kit. Fitness+ fixes that so you can work out at home, or if you’re travelling, even in your hotel room.
3: Time efficiency. When you’re ready to work out, you don’t have to travel either side. You can get a super quick workout in right away when you find that gap in your schedule. Especially if you work from home!
2: It plans for you. When I used to go to the gym, I’d do the same thing every time. A bit of elliptical to warm up, then the same resistance stuff every time, pull-downs, rows, curls, chest presses. Then a little walk to cool down. And maybe the massage chair at the end. Fitness+ plans give you a variety of movements and guide you through the whole thing. There’s also a less intense version of every workout that an additional coach will demo, great if your fitness level isn’t super high at the start. I do kind of miss the massage chairs though.
1: Ecosystem. You can’t talk about anything Apple does without saying the word ecosystem. Fitness+ shows a lot of the benefits, from starting the workout from your watch while you use your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV to show the video, to your rings from the watch appearing on screen too. And of course, your watch is measuring your exercise, feeding that to your health app which gives you trends over time for your VO2 Max, recovery times, activity levels and more. If you connect other apps and accessories too you can also track things like weight and blood pressure too, or log them manually from non-connected equipment
I’m going to be doing this, I’ve just weighed in and I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been right now, 98.5kg. Thats 217lb for the Americans. And I feel it. So, wish me luck!

@Dave Your hint at a secret feature got me to click, and I’m glad I did. I was looking for a review so I can help an in-law try out her new iPad…along with 3-month trial subscriptions to Apple premium services. Your video gives some compelling reasons to, at the least, try the service out. Thank you!
Good luck Dave! I know you can do it. Your time is precious, (a dad+ working vs “me time”)but you have all the internal and external tools you need.
Thank you!
Heck yeah Dave you’ve got this & thanks for the motivation
Lmk how you get on!
Great stuff! My steps have dropped significantly recently due to an ongoing injury. Gotta get back on it!
Walk it off...
@@iCaveDave that’s actually surprisingly good advice 😂
Definitely wishing you well on your half and fitness journey. I can completely understand where you are coming from since I am also at my heaviest. Motivation can be hard to come by.
Dropped 3 lb in week one, not too shabby!
Sweet! Good job man! @@iCaveDave
Good luck Dave, stay movated!!!
Thank you!
I prefer queueing up workouts like a playlist everyday now. It’s good to checkout the “collections” and I also get to start them from the watch and when one finishes I just press play on the next one from my watch. Took me ages to realise this was a feature.
I have two requests for Fitness +: firstly to make spin, treadmill and other workouts audio-only as an option. I currently just leave my phone in a nearby locker with the brightness turned all the way down; secondly, I want the option for dubbing in Spanish. Subtitles aren’t good enough, especially for meditations, yoga and pilates.
All makes sense!
Hey dave my iMac display is broken and I bought a monitor but when I try to go on windows it doesn’t show anything do you know what I can do?
Very tricky - how old is the iMac? Is it Apple silicon or an intel one?
@@iCaveDave it a intel I got a adapter I use to connect to my monitor but that only works on mac version not window I wanna find out how to make it work on windows if you got a video about this a mention on that video would be nice
Why can’t I stream a working to my smart tv? It did it before now it won’t.
No idea, I know you can do it with AppleTV where the fitness app is right there
@@iCaveDave so I have to spend another $100 just to see my workout on my tv? Never😂
@WhatYaReading you don’t HAVE to…
Congrats on creating your habit. Do you occasionally increase your goals such as move? that’s what I do. Keeps me motivated to get even better. Cheers!
I try to!
#iCaveAnswers Size clearly matters. Why are 14” and 16” laptops preferable to 15” & 17”?
I love my 14” MBP, but the 16” feels too big. Previous MBPs have always been 15”.
Dell have shifted their popular XPS range to be 13”, 14”, and 16” from this year.
Why are these sizes preferable?

#iCaveAnswers I’ve seen other creators suggesting the RUclips algorithm isn’t helping smaller creators right now. How are your numbers looking?
Do we need to like, subscribe, ring the bell, and post more comments to feed the algorithm?

#iCaveAnswers what happened to those wacky shaped ergonomic keyboards of the 90s?
Both Apple and Microsoft had funky ergonomic keyboards.
I’d wager we use computers more now than 30 years ago, but keyboards have gone back to being rectangular. What gives?
