HOW TO

Hit your daily fitness goals

Close your rings your way and hit your Move, Exercise and Stand targets.

Three rings, one day, plenty of possibilities. If you’re an Apple Watch owner, closing your rings is a great way to live a healthier, more active life each and every day. And it’s fun, too.

Helping you harness your inner competitor for self improvement, closing your Move, Exercise and Stand rings gives you achievable goals to strive towards. And if you want to mix up how you fit more activity in to your day then these apps can help.

Move more, feel better

However you move, Pedometer++ will track and contextualise your actions.

Challenging you to hit your bespoke active calorie burn goal, closing your Move ring is all about getting creative. With active calories being the ones you burn through movement, that means finding new ways to move.

Instead of forcing yourself to go to the gym five times a week, Pedometer++ tracks the movements you do naturally every day, be that walking to the shops or pushing your wheelchair to the office. Tired of terra firma? MySwimPro will record your swim sessions while offering you tailored coaching to help you improve. And if you want to move in a way that will aid your body and mind, Asana Rebel is packed with yoga workouts ready for you to explore.

Exercise your way

Squeeze an entire workout into your limited free time with Seven.

To close your exercise ring you need to move at, or above, a brisk walking pace for at least 30 minutes a day. How you do that is totally up to you. Want to stick to a classic? Nike Run Club lets you track your jogging while you challenge friends, unlock achievements and listen to motivational guided runs.

Fancy mixing things up? While Strava is a comprehensive run and cycle tracker, the GPS-enabled app will also keep tabs on your swim, surf and ski sessions. Plus plenty more besides. And don’t worry if you’re coming up just short on your daily target, with Seven you can squeeze a full HIIT workout into just seven short minutes and close your ring in style.

Stand up for success

Kaia can help you stand up to back pain and poor posture.

While all of the above apps will also get you on your feet, standing shouldn’t be restricted to exercise sessions. As you’ll need to stand and move for at least one minute during 12 different hours of the day to close your Stand ring, using WaterMinder will not only keep you on top of your hydration but the app’s alerts will ensure you stand to get your next glass of water.

Helping you give your back a break for being slouched over a keyboard all day, Kaia will get you on your feet to realign your posture while Standland is all about standing for fun, letting you play by moving around the real world, unlocking new cute critters as you go.
