AirPods Pro 3 heart rate tracking when connected to iPad

I got the new pro 3 and want to use the heart rate tracking when I’m working out. I typically do the recumbent bike and have my AirPods connected to my iPad bcuz I watch YouTube while I exercise. I enable the workout mode on my Apple Watch which is obviously connected to my iPhone. Will the heart rate tracking work even though the AirPods are connected to my iPad since the iPad doesn’t have the Apple fitness app? Thanks

why did apple remove the ability to control airpods with apple watch? In the latest update for Apple Watch, iOS 11, Apple removed the convenient ability to switch between pass through and anc on the AirPod pro using an Apple Watch. For those of us that are active and leave the bulky phone at home, this is very frustrating. We used to be able to access this service to g easily, now it takes several steps to get to the anc setting and we cannot get to pass through. Any solutions to this issue would be appreciated. But please do not suggest I carry my phone on a half marathon.
