BODYWEIGHT AND SINGLE WEIGHTS Not every exercise needs a bar. Set an exercise to No bar for push-ups, pull-ups and dips, or for a dumbbell, kettlebell or single plate held on its own. Pick the weight from your plates or type it in — and add weight over time as you get stronger. Training with bodyweight only? You can now skip adding a bar when you set up, and start with a ready-made bodyweight workout.

APPLE WATCH Lifts now runs on your wrist. Start a workout on your watch or your iPhone and both stay in step — log a set on either and it shows up on the other straight away. Before each set your watch shows exactly which plates to load, then counts your rest and taps your wrist when it's over. Heart rate and calories are tracked throughout, so the session lands in Apple Health and counts towards your Activity rings. Walk away from your phone and keep lifting — everything syncs when you're back in range. Start a workout on your iPhone and, if you've allowed Apple Health, the watch app opens on its own with the workout already loaded. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Every exercise now has a chart of the weight you've actually lifted, so months of training fit on one screen. Tap a day in the calendar, choose an exercise, and go straight to its history. Sessions where you missed your target are marked, so a plateau is easy to spot. SAFER LOGGING The weight for an exercise locks once its first set is under way. Changing it mid-exercise would have quietly rewritten sets you had already logged — now it can't. The rest timer stays on your Lock Screen while a workout runs. It no longer appears on your watch as well, because the watch app already shows it. Plus smaller fixes and stability improvements throughout.

The workout timer now starts when you begin your first set, not when you open the workout. During a workout, tap the weight to swap to a lighter or heavier load from your available plates. A back button on the reps screen lets you return to the set timer if you tapped Complete too early. Rest screen now has a +30s button to extend your rest without starting over. Dynamic Island has been tidied up with the exercise name and a cleaner timer position. Also includes a handful of smaller bug fixes and stability improvements.
