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. If you forget to start a workout before performing some common types of workout (walking, running, swimming, and more), don’t worry—Apple Watch can remind you to record a workout and give you credit for the exercise you’ve already done.
How are you doing?
Your recent activity statistics look great, but how do they compare to last year? The Trends feature can tell you. Open the Fitness app on your iPhone, tap the Summary tab, and swipe up to see where your activity metrics are headed so you can keep it going or turn it around.
To learn more about Apple Watch as a fitness partner, see Track daily activity with Apple Watch, Start a workout, Metrics for Outdoor Run workouts, and Check your trends.
