To set weekly goals on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:
1. Open the Activity app on your Apple Watch. This app is represented by a colored ring icon.
2. Swipe up on your watch face to access the menu options, then tap on “Change Goals” to customize your goals.
3. Once you’re in the Change Goals menu, you’ll see three different categories: Move, Exercise, and Stand.
4. To set your weekly Move goal, which represents the number of active calories you aim to burn each day, tap on the “+” or “-” buttons to increase or decrease the number. You can also use the digital crown to make adjustments. When you’re satisfied with your Move goal, tap “Next.”
5. Next, you can set your weekly Exercise goal, which is the number of minutes you aim to exercise each day. Again, use the “+” or “-” buttons or the digital crown to adjust the number. Once you’ve set your Exercise goal, tap “Next.”
6. The last category is Stand, which tracks the number of hours you’ve stood and moved around for at least one minute during the day. This goal is fixed at 12 hours and cannot be adjusted.
7. After setting your goals for Move and Exercise, you’ll see a summary of your changes. If you’re happy with the new goals, tap “Update” to save them to your Apple Watch.
Setting weekly goals on your Apple Watch is a great way to stay motivated and track your progress over time. By challenging yourself to meet these goals, you can improve your overall fitness and well-being. Remember to listen to your body and adjust your goals if needed, as everyone’s abilities and fitness levels differ.
Here are a few tips to help you reach your weekly goals:
1. Make your goals realistic and attainable. Setting goals that are too difficult to achieve may lead to frustration and demotivation.
