Stay fit with Apple Watch
Apple Watch can track your activity and workouts, and encourage you to lead a more active life through gentle reminders and friendly competitions.
Close each ring
Your Apple Watch tracks how much you move, how often you stand up, and how long you exercise each day. Set goals in the Activity app 
, then check your progress throughout the day. Scroll down for more details like your total steps and distance. Apple Watch lets you know when you’ve completed a goal.
Start a workout
Open the Workout app 
, then tap the type of workout you want—a daily workout like a run or swim, or a multisport workout when you take on your next triathlon. Customize your workout view so the metrics you want to track are just a glance away. For some common types of workouts, if you forget to start your workout on Apple Watch, you’ll get a reminder to record a workout and get credit for the exercise you’ve already done.
Go for a ride
Automatically connect to Bluetooth-enabled accessories to add cadence, speed, and power metrics to your cycling workout view. You can also view estimates of your functional threshold power—the highest level of intensity you can maintain for an hour. Open the Workout app , turn the Digital Crown to Outdoor Cycle or Indoor Cycle, then tap the workout when you’re ready to roll.
Pause your rings
If you need to take a break, you can pause your Activity rings for a day, week, month, or more—without breaking your award streak. You can pause your rings for up to 90 days and resume at any time. Tap 
, turn the Digital Crown to scroll to the bottom of the screen, then tap Pause Rings.
