To change your fitness goals on Apple Watch, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Fitness App: On your Apple Watch, locate and open the Fitness app. This app is represented by a colorful icon with a heart shape.
- Scroll Down: If you’re not already on the main screen, scroll down by swiping your finger upwards on the watch face until you see your current fitness metrics.
- Tap on the Activity Ring: You’ll see three colored rings on the screen that represent your Move (red), Exercise (green), and Stand (blue) goals. Tap on the ring for the goal you want to change. For example, if you want to change your Move goal, tap the red Move ring.
- Adjust the Goal: Once you tap on the ring, you’ll be taken to a screen that shows your current progress and goal. To change the goal, tap on the “Change Move Goal” (or “Change Exercise Goal” or “Change Stand Goal,” depending on the ring you selected).
- Set a New Goal: You can now use the on-screen controls to adjust the goal. You can either use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to increase or decrease the goal in small increments, or you can tap and hold the goal to enter a specific number using the keyboard. Once you’re satisfied with the new goal, tap “Update” or “Done.”
- Confirm the Change: You’ll be asked to confirm the goal change. If you’re sure about the new goal, tap “Update Goal.”
- Sync and Track: Your new goal will be saved, and your Apple Watch will adjust your daily progress accordingly. Make sure to wear your watch regularly to track your activity and meet your updated goals.
Remember that you can adjust your Move, Exercise, and Stand goals independently to tailor them to your fitness level and preferences. Additionally, your watch will provide you with weekly progress reports and encourage you to achieve your goals over time.
How to set workout reminders for extra edge
Setting workout reminders on your Apple Watch can be a great way to stay on top of your fitness goals and maintain a consistent workout routine. Here’s how you can set workout reminders for that extra edge:
Access the Reminders App:
- On your iPhone, open the “Reminders” app.
- Create a new reminder or use an existing one that you want to use as your workout reminder.
Add a Location-Based Reminder:
- Tap to create a new reminder.
- Enter a title for your reminder, such as “Workout Time.”
- To add a location-based reminder, tap the “i” icon (information) to the right of the reminder.
Choose a Location:
- Under “Remind me, And then ” tap “Location.”
- Enter the location where you typically work out. You can use your current location or search for a specific place like a gym or park.
Set the Notification Time:
- Under “Remind me,” select a time that works for your workout schedule. This will be the time when your Apple Watch will remind you to work out.
Enable Notifications:
- Make sure the “Reminders” app has permission to send notifications. You can check this in your iPhone’s Settings app under “Notifications” > “Reminders.” Ensure that notifications are allowed, and you can customize the alert style as well.
Sync with Your Apple Watch:
- Your reminders should automatically sync with your Apple Watch if you have iCloud syncing enabled.
Receive Workout Reminders on Your Watch:
- On your Apple Watch, raise your wrist to wake the screen.
- You should receive a notification from the Reminders app at the specified time and location. Click on the notification to view your reminder.
Start Your Workout:
- When you receive the workout reminder on your Apple Watch, you can tap it to dismiss it or snooze it if you need more time. To start your workout, tap the reminder and proceed with your fitness routine.
By setting location-based workout reminders, you’ll receive notifications on your Apple Watch when you’re in the vicinity of your chosen workout location and at the designated time. This can help you stay motivated and consistent with your fitness goals by providing that extra nudge when you need it.
