DEFINITIONS:
- Workout Session: A built-in (Apple HealthKit) record in the iOS ecosystem created by various apps, for instance Apple Watch or 3rd party apps. The Workouts• app reads these records and provides ability to linked data to them.
- Workout Routine: A plan that consists of a series of activities. These activities are performed in a single workout. They are performed sequentially and then repeated.
- Workout Activity: An individual workout, performed on its own day, focused on a muscle group (e.g. arms, shoulders, lower-body) or general activity (e.g. running, core, full-body).
- Workout Category: There is a collective understanding amongst health institutions that there are four primary types of exercises: endurance, strength, balance and flexibility. The Workouts• app builds on this concept while adding three additional types: core, mindfulness and sports, as well as renaming endurance to aerobic and flexibility to stretching. Being aware of workout categories will help you balance your activities. (With the planned Workout Trends feature, categories will be more relevant in the app.)
