Apple Fitness Plus will teach you your favorite BTS dance move

By Peter Hunt Szpytek April 22, 2022

Apple Fitness Plus is giving fans a new way to stay in shape while enjoying the music of K-pop supergroup BTS. The service will be posting a handful of BTS dance workouts next week as it continues adding musicians to its Artist Spotlight series. Each workout will feature dance moves directly from the band’s music videos and live performances.

Each Apple Fitness Plus workout will be fronted by trainer Ben Allen, who has led plenty of other Fitness Plus programs. According to Apple, some of the BTS songs included in the service are Butter (featuring Megan Thee Stallion), Dynamite, Boy With Luv (featuring Halsey), DNA, MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix), Permission to Dance, and Life Goes On.

Some BTS dance workouts have already been added to Apple Fitness Plus, but Apple is looking to “celebrate dance all week long” starting on Monday, April 25 in preparation for International Dance Day which takes place on April 29.

For the next four weeks, new BTS playlists will be added to the app with different types of workouts. This means that one week the band might have a high-intensity interval training workout while the next could be focused on strength or a less strenuous dance program. Each workout is between 20 and 30 minutes long, but there’s nothing stopping fans from doing multiple workouts in a row so that they can learn their favorite moves from BTS’ catalog.

Given the popularity of BTS, it makes sense that Apple would want to feature them in Fitness Plus. While plenty of other famous musicians and groups have had their time in the Fitness Plus spotlight, like ABBA, Queen, and the Beatles, the current worldwide popularity of the K-pop group is nearly unmatched.

In addition to the BTS workouts coming to the service, Apple Fitness Plus will feature six more dance workouts set to “Latin Grooves, Upbeat Anthems, Throwback Hits, and Hip-Hop/R&B playlists.” Those workouts will go live on April 29 in celebration of International Dance Day.

Apple Watch OS 9

During the keynote presentation for Apple's WWDC 2022 presentation, the company detailed the next version of its software for the Apple Watch, called watchOS 9. This release cadence is expected for watchOS. Apple unveils the software at WWDC in June, uses the next few months to test beta versions, and finally releases the public build to everyone in September. While there's nothing surprising about watchOS 9's announcement, the newly revealed features have us excited for the Apple Watch's future. Here's a quick recap of all the big features you can look forward to.

Apple just gave you a reason to ditch your Mac for an iPad

Apple has added support for multiple windows and external displays to iPadOS at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), bringing the iPad closer to the Mac than at any other point in its history. For many people, it could be the final push to abandon their laptop or desktop computer for good.

The key to this near-revolutionary change is a feature Apple calls Stage Manager, coming in iPadOS 16. When you open Stage Manager, your main open window is shown at the center of your display. On the left-hand side is a list of your other open apps, with multiple windows of the same app grouped together. You can tap an app in the sidebar to bring it to the front.

What you can (and can’t) do on your Apple Watch without your iPhone

The Apple Watch has seen enormous success. In fact, it’s the most popular item in Apple’s quickly expanding Wearables, Home, and Accessories division, which also includes Apple AirPods.

Since the Apple Watch was released in 2015, the smartwatch has gone through a number of makeovers and gained several new features. People love the Apple Watch for its durability, water resistance, and fitness-tracking abilities. Early versions of the watch could measure your activity levels, heart rate, and several other health metrics. Later versions even come with tools like ECGs (electrocardiograms) that can tell you when your heartbeat is abnormal and oximeters that can measure your blood oxygen levels.
