Dolly Parton has joined Apple’s Fitness+ as part of their walking program along with singer Shawn Mendes and NBA player Draymond Green to provide walkers original content on their Apple watches with a subscription.

In Dolly’s sessions, walkers hear the background noise of birds as she talks about her Tennessee farm. Parton says, “During this time, Covid and all that, I know a lot of you can’t get out and walk like you do normally, and I’m sure a lot of you feel confined.” She adds, “But I know how important it is to be able to walk. So even though we can’t get out and walk around all the places we’d like to this day and time. … I can still take you down on a walk on memory lane. Hopefully with us walking together we’ll feel a little more freedom.”

Dolly tells walkers that she does a lot of writing while walking and the backstory of her famous “9 to 5” song. She even taps her own acrylic fingernails so it sounds like a typewriter for rhythm in the background.



Parton posted to her Instagram, “Take a walk with me as I share stories from my life in a brand new #TimetoWalk episode on @applefitnessplus!.”
