Apple Fitness+ is great if you like working out in front of a screen, but what if you want to go outside? In iOS 14.4, apparently you can.

First Look: Apple's New 'Time to Walk' Feature for Apple Watch!

While there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, Time to Walk appears to be a beta feature of the Apple Watch that, while not yet live, can grab audio tracks and then offer you guided audio workouts. These can be power walks, regular strolls, or runs.

“Walking is an excellent form of cardio if you do it with intensity and intention,” John Thornhill, a master trainer at Aaptiv, told Well+Good.

First shared by Khaos Tian on Twitter, Time to Walk automatically downloads new workouts to your Apple Watch when it’s plugged into power and near your iPhone. This is how software updates and podcasts are added to the watch, and it means you’ll always have a new workout ready to go. Based on the name, it appears that Time to Walk reminders would appear at intervals, much like the existing Time to Stand reminders.
