The Absolute Beginner workouts are designed for coaching basic movements and exercises. The module is touted to be Apple’s direct competition to Peloton, Nike Training and Asana Rebel apps.

The app also allows Apple Music subscribers to easily save and listen their music whether during a workout or while taking a break.
