To log past workouts on your Apple Watch, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Health app on your iPhone. This app comes pre-installed on most iPhones, but if you don’t have it, you can download it from the App Store.
2. Once you have the Health app open, tap on the “Browse” tab located at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Activity” to access your activity data.
4. In the Activity section, you’ll see various categories like Steps, Workouts, and more. Tap on “Workouts” to view and log your past workouts.
5. On the Workouts screen, you’ll see a list of your recent workouts. To add a new workout, tap on the “+” sign located in the upper right corner of the screen.
6. You’ll now be prompted to enter details about your workout. Start by selecting the date and time of your past workout. You can choose any date and time in the past.
7. Next, select the type of workout you want to log. This could be a specific activity like running, cycling, swimming, or even something more generic like “Other” if your workout doesn’t fit into any predefined category.
8. After selecting the workout type, you can enter additional details such as duration, distance, and calories burned. The more information you provide, the more accurate the data will be in tracking your progress.
9. Once you have entered all the relevant information, tap on “Save” to log your past workout. The workout will now be added to your activity history in the Health app.
If you don’t have a record of your past workouts or if you forgot to wear your Apple Watch during a workout, you can still manually add the workout data using the “Other” activity type. This allows you to estimate the duration, intensity, and calories burned based on your best recollection.
It’s worth noting that manually logging past workouts may not be as accurate as recording them in real-time with your Apple Watch, as the watch can track your heart rate, distance, and other metrics more precisely. However, manually adding past workouts can still give you a general idea of your overall activity level and help you track your progress over time.
Logging past workouts on your Apple Watch is a simple process that can be done through the Health app on your iPhone. By accurately recording your workouts, you can better track your fitness goals and stay motivated on your fitness journey.
