Apple Fitness+ introduces postpartum workouts

Apple introduces a range of new Fitness+ workouts geared towards those who just had their babies. The series is aptly called "Get Back to Fitness After Having a Baby." It contains seven workouts in the Core, Strength, and Mindful Cooldown categories. Some of the new exercises target the pelvic floor to help restrengthen muscles supporting organs in the pelvis area that relax during childbirth. There will be modifications for different intensity levels depending on the preferred level of activity post-childbirth. Mindful Cooldowns include messages that remind new parents about patience and self-care.

So, now you can start a workout from your mobile device and then wireless stream the video to your laptop. A big drawback is you don't have access to on-screen metrics like heart rate and calories burned. You can only see this data on your Apple Watch.
