Every year, plenty of people promise themselves they\u2019ll eat better and stay active, only to fall off the wagon a few weeks in. To help users stick with their fitness goals for longer, Apple is rolling out a fresh lineup of Apple Fitness+<\/a> content designed to make staying consistent a little easier.<\/p>\n

Starting today, Apple Fitness+ subscribers get access to three new multi-week workout plans<\/a> designed around different workout types, including strength training, HIIT, and yoga. The \u201cMake Your Fitness Comeback\u201d program focuses on all three and offers a four-week plan featuring three 10-minute workouts per week for each type.
