Key Takeaways and Next Steps:

Customize your Move, Exercise, and Stand goals based on your fitness level, lifestyle, and activity preferences to ensure they are realistic and attainable.

Embrace variety in activity:

Explore diverse forms of physical activity to meet the requirements of each Activity Ring and maintain a balanced and active lifestyle. Incorporate activities such as walking, running, cycling, swimming, or yoga into your daily routine to engage different muscle groups and prevent monotony.

Monitor progress and adjust goals:

Regularly review your Activity Rings data and trends using the Health app on your iPhone or the Activity app on your Apple Watch to track your progress and identify areas for improvement. Use the insights gained from monitoring your activity levels to adjust your goals, challenge yourself to reach new milestones, and maintain motivation and accountability.

tap on the rings on your apple watch or open the Activity app on your watch.
The first thing you will see is your rings.
As you scroll up from the bottom, you will see a screen showing all the details of your calories burned. You can actually change your goals from your watch screen by using the button in the bottom right hand corner of the watch screen.
Once you've viewed your data and adjusted your goals, you can swipe up to the next screen, which will be your exercise minutes.
The next screen you will see will be your stand minutes.
The last screen you will see shows your daily steps for that day and the equivalent miles for those steps.
See all of this information by opening the Activity app or your Fitness app on your iPhone (whichever you have.) In these apps, you can also change your goals.
