Is the iPad used for training? Yes and you will be surprised

The Fitness+ application is a native Apple application that serves to improve our health and physical condition and prevent diseases caused by a sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise. Many users think that they need an Apple Watch to carry out this type of activity, but this is not the case, since you can do it from iPad and in this post we are going to see it.

iPad and Apple Fitness, the ideal combination

5 key points to choose the best iPad for you

Apple Fitness+ is a subscription service that gives you access to exercise videos guided by professional trainers and selected by Apple so that you can perform the exercises that you enjoy the most in a fun and gradual way. This service, like other services such as Apple TV, is a subscription service and you can do it through a monthly or annual subscription or through Apple One in its most advanced subscription. Best of all, this service is available for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Of two of them, surely you know perfectly how it works, but next we are going to see how you can get it from the iPad.

The procedure to carry out a training consists of three steps , however, if you have previously used the application, personalized recommendations appear by default to search and filter your training:

  1. On iPad, open the Fitness app.
  2. Select a type of training.
  3. Tap or select the Filter button.
  4. Tap one of the filter options to narrow down your workouts.

Once you’ve found the workout, you can view the workout preview to give you an idea of the workout structure. Once you have chosen the training, you have to take the following steps:

  1. Tap Let’s Go! Tapping the Play button will bring up the Apple Watch metrics on the screen.

To do this, on the iPad you can press Save Workout and, automatically, they are saved at the bottom of My Workouts that are located at the bottom of Fitness+.

Customize training metrics

From iPad, you can also set the metrics that appear on the screen before you start a workout and change them at any time during your session. To do this, press again on the ¡Vamos! application to start a workout. Next, from the iPad , tap the metric editor button to determine the values you need.

Finally, from the iPad, as in the iPhone and Apple Watch, you can determine the performance bar to determine the effort that other users have made during the training. The performance bar calculates and displays your metrics as follows:

  • The performance bar takes your heart rate into account when determining results.
  • Based on calories burned, the performance bar will show whether you are below average, average, just average, above average, or above average.
  • The performance bar appears two minutes after starting the training. It is displayed as a sliding window and reflects your last two minutes of training.
