| Please forgive me for varying a little bit off topic from iphones, but I have a question about this walking pad. On a tread mill, one can make the motion of walking and it has bearings in it so that one is actually walking. Does this thing have roller bearings in it so that you can literally walk in place, it is a tread mill but much lower to the floor than a conventional tread mill, or is it simply walking in place? One is simply picking their feet up and putting them down more or less in the same place, we use to call it running in place in gym class. Thanks for clarification.

Hi Mark,
Which walking pad did you end up buying and
why? I still haven't given up on this idea but don't know which way to
go. Thanks and I love hearing what you are doing with your shortcuts to
make things easier in the long run.

Subject: Some General Updated Info from
Mark About Workout App, etc.
Hello Everyone, You know, each day I plan on posting to
the list my various discoveries about my recent use of my Apple product but,
somehow, time just slips away. It’s almost midnight so I’m just going to
list a couple of things:
1.
Because of various sundry reasons, I
will be posting to the list from the main group address, for a
while.
2.
Since using my new walking pad, I have started using the
native Apple Watch Workout app. I got a kick out of the Apple Fitness
Plus sessions, at first, and I may use them, from time-to-time but I find that
I am not particularly fond of listening to some trainer talking and talking
and talking while I exercise. I prefer my own playlists and or Apple
Music Stations.
3.
I have been diving into the shortcuts app as it
provides a great deal of functionality to my workout sessions. For
example, I have created a shortcut, that I can run from a watch face
complication that (1) sets the volume on my Apple Watch for playback on my
Bluetooth headset, (2) changes the active watch face to what I want to explore
during a workout, (3) starts a custom workout such as Indoor walking with a
specific goal, and (4) starts any Apple Music app playlists or station.
I have created another shortcut that, at the end of any workout session,
returns all of my various settings to their original parameters that existed
before the workout session.
4.
On a different note, I discovered
that one can create shortcuts that can be activated directly from the home
screen that will allow one to directly play any station / playlist on Apple
Music. As an example, If I want to play the the Apple Music 1970s love
songs station, I only need to doubletap an icon on my home screen and the
station immediately begins playing. The Music app does not appear.
This can be done with any playlist / station, public or custom, in Apple
Music. It’s really quite impressive given that one cannot save an Apple
Music Station to one’s library. Without getting too deep into this, I
have also created one shortcut that, when activated, simply displays a menu of
whatever stations I have selected and I can select from that menu.
5.
While I am a huge fan of Amazon Music, I am discovering
that Apple Music offers a great deal when one wants to walk only in the Apple
Orchard.
I have so much more to share about my recent discoveries but
the more I type, at present, the more typos I am making so I will stop here,
for now.
I hope you are all doing well.
Mark
