How to use your Apple Watch for fitness

Your Apple Watch can be a helpful fitness tracker, but it’s not always accurate. Here are some tips on how to use your Apple Watch to get the most accurate fitness tracking.

First, make sure that you have the Watch set up for fitness tracking. To do this, open the “Workout” app on your Watch. Then, scroll down and tap “Start New Workout.” Next, select the type of workout that you’ll be doing. For walking or running workouts, select “Outdoors.” For other workouts, select “Indoors.”

Once you’ve selected the type of workout, you’ll need to calibrate your Watch. To do this, go for a walk or run at your usual pace for at least 20 minutes. Then, open the “Workout” app on your Watch and scroll down to “Advanced.” Tap “Calibrate watch for walking + running pace.” Follow the instructions on the screen to calibrate your Watch.

After you’ve calibrated your Watch, you can start tracking your workouts. To do this, open the “Workout” app on your Watch and scroll down to “Start New Workout.” Select the type of workout that you’ll be doing and tap “Start.” The Workout app will track your progress and give you credit for calories burned and distance covered.

You can also use the Health app on your iPhone to track your progress over time. To do this, open the Health app and tap “Sources.” Then, tap “Edit” in the top right corner and make sure that the “Fitness Tracking” toggle is turned on. Once it is, all of your workout data from your Apple Watch will appear in the Health app.

Inhale when the circle expands, and exhale when it contracts. You can also choose to have haptic feedback (a light tap) on your wrist with each breath if you want.
