Audio Workouts Rudely at the Top<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2021, Apple added a feature called \u201cTime to Walk\u201d in the Apple Watch. The idea is that while you walk (or run) you listen to someone famous telling stories. I\u2019ve listened to a few, including Dolly Parton and Hannah Waddingham. They were both lovely experiences. Hannah walked in hills of Hollywood where you could hear leaves crunching as she talked about how she ended up on Ted Lasso, and the challenges raising her daughter as an actor. Dolly was fabulous as well, because she\u2019s Dolly Parton. Listening to a few of her songs towards the end was delightful.<\/p>\n

As much as I enjoyed these two Time to Walk experiences, most of the ones offered are from singers, and as you probably know, I don\u2019t really listen to music<\/a>. I think it\u2019s lovely for other people to have access to Time to Walk but it\u2019s just not for me.<\/p>\n

The Apple Watch Workout app floats to the top whatever workout you often do. I do walks, strength workouts, and \u201cother\u201d, so those are near the top of the list for me so that I don\u2019t need to scroll to get to them. I know Sandy loves Tai Chi, but I don\u2019t even know what that is, so it\u2019s near the bottom of my list so I don\u2019t have to scroll past it.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the problem. Apple thinks Time to Walk is the primary activity anyone invoking a workout on their Apple Watch ever wants to do, so it\u2019s always<\/em> at the top. 100% of the time I do a workout I have to scroll past it and it really annoys me. It bothers me so much that I have even considered calling Apple to ask if there is some way I can make it go away.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure when this changed, but it\u2019s now no longer called Time to Walk on the first screen of the Workout app on the Apple Watch. It\u2019s now called Fitness+ Audio Workouts, and if you tap through, you\u2019ll see Time to Walk and Time to Run.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t make it any less annoying to me, but now we can actually remove the entire thing from our view on Workouts if we desire \u2026 and I desire.<\/p>\n

The other day, my finger slipped as I was starting to scroll past Audio Workouts and instead of moving down, I accidentally swiped right to left. To my delight, I was treated to a red button with an X in it, allowing me to remove Fitness+ Audio Workouts!<\/p>\n

\"Delete
Yay! You CAN delete it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Confirmation
Danger!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Tai
You can add it back later<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

You do have to confirm the removal and that screen lets you know that you can always add it back if you desire. If you scroll to the bottom of the list of workouts you have showing, you\u2019ll see an Add Workout button. Once you select that option, you\u2019ll see a list of workouts you can add, including Audio Workouts which are of course<\/em> listed at the top of the list of workouts.<\/p>\n

Removing Audio Workouts because Apple chose to annoy me by keeping them always at the top because they know best is delightful, you can use this same swiping right to left to remove any workout you don\u2019t ever plan on doing. And conversely you can go to the add button at the bottom and add in workouts you might want to do.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m deleriously happy that I can, in less swiping and tapping, get right to the workout I want to do now that I\u2019ve been able to remove Audio Workouts. Now I\u2019ve gotta go back to cleaning up my list because I\u2019m pretty certain there\u2019s no multi-sport triathlon in my near future. But maybe I will<\/em> add in badminton\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
