If you like walking, running or cycling, with the new Apple Watch you will enjoy your favorite physical activity to the fullest.

However, being fit is not just about running or going to the gym regularly, you also need to stay active the rest of the day. Because of this, the Apple Watch is able to monitor your every move: it knows if you are climbing stairs, playing with your kids or just got off the couch.
Complete the three rings daily
The Apple smartwatch shows you your daily physical activity visually through three rings. The Movement ring tells you the number of calories burned. The Exercise ring, the minutes of physical activity. And the Standing ring alerts you when you've been idle for a long time.
On a weekly basis, the wearable proposes a goal with the number of calories you should burn per day based on your latest data. The Movement ring is completed when you reach that daily goal. Depending on your fitness level, you can choose a goal that is more or less difficult to reach and gradually meet these challenges.
The Apple Watch records all the physical activity you do every day, even if it is not sport as such. The Exercise ring closes when you perform the recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise. The positive news is that you don't have to do it all at once.
And so you don't spend so much time lying on the couch or sitting on the couch doing nothing, the Apple Watch features the Stand ring, which will close when you're up for at least one minute every hour for half the day.
