Fans can now get fit with Dolly Parton‘s help with Apple’s new Time to Walk audio walking experience on Apple Watch for Fitness+ subscribers. Parton is one of four new celebrity guests who talk you through your walk on the new experience, which was created to encourage users to walk more often and reap the benefits from one of the healthiest activities.
These original Time to Walk episodes invites users to immerse themselves in a walk alongside influential and interesting people as they share meaningful stories, photos, and music. Each audio-only episode ranges from 25-40 minutes, and is shaped by the guest’s personal, life-shaping moments and lessons learned, as they share meaningful memories, thoughts on purpose and gratitude, moments of levity, and other topics recorded while walking outside or in locations that are meaningful to them. The narrative comes to life through photos that appear on Apple Watch, perfectly timed to amplify a corresponding moment the guest shares. Following the stories, each guest speaker introduces a short playlist of songs that motivated and inspired them so the listener can continue their walk to a soundtrack intimately connected to each guest.
“I’ve loved walking ever since I was a little girl in the Smoky Mountains,” Parton said. “I think it’s so important to be able to get out and walk if we can during this time. I do my best thinking when I walk. And while many of us feel confined during this time, I’m hopeful that people will take a walk down memory lane with me and we can all feel a little more freedom taking the time to walk together.”
Other new episodes include NBA player Draymond Green reflecting on the virtues of failure and tuning out criticism, musician Shawn Mendes sharing on how a slower pace has helped him personally and creatively, and Emmy Award winner Uzo Aduba talking about lifelong relationships and keeping the faith.
Time To Walk can be used anytime, anywhere with Apple Watch and AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones. New episodes will appear in the Workout app on Apple Watch from a different guest each Monday through the end of April.
