App of the Month

Apple Fitness+

I’ve started three-month trial of Apple Fitness+ recently, and I am super impressed with it. It provides a variety of training activities for different level of fitness with HIIT and Core trainings among my favorites.

I also finally got the taste of rowing, and it appeared to be super fun, with good intensity, but low impact.

Mindful cooldowns and yoga help me stretch before and after runs, and guided meditations are great for mental health.

Overall, I recommend everyone to give it a try!
