Whether you're heading out
for a hike
or hitting the gym,
here's how to get the most
from every workout
with Apple Watch.
To get the most
accurate measurements
on your Apple Watch,
make sure your personal
information is up to date.
While you probably
entered these stats
when you first set up
your Apple Watch,
you can update them by opening
the Watch app on your iPhone.
Then scroll down and tap Health.
♪ Music playing ♪
Tap edit to update
your information.
If you're a wheelchair user,
you can choose an optimized
activity and workout experience.
Tap Done when you're finished.
Now you're ready
to start a workout.
Let's go.
On your Apple Watch,
open the Workout app,
then select a workout type.
There are more than a dozen
workouts to choose from,
including hiking, yoga,
cycling, and running.
Working towards a specific goal?
You can set one
by tapping the ellipsis
in the upper right.
You can select an open goal,
distance goal, calorie goal,
or time goal.
For outdoor runs,
you can also set a pace alert
with an average mile
or rolling mile goal pace.
As you run, your watch will
alert you
if you're ahead of
or behind your target pacing.
We'll just set a time goal
of 30 minutes.
To start your workout,
tap Start and wait
for the three-second countdown
after setting your goal,
or tap the screen to skip it.
Alternatively, you can
tell Siri what you want to do
by saying something like,
"Hey Siri,
go for a 30-minute outdoor run."
On Apple Watch Series 3
or later,
just raise your wrist and speak.
No need to say, "Hey Siri."
And if you ever forget to record
a workout, that's OK.
Your Apple Watch
can automatically detect
when you're running,
walking, swimming
or on the elliptical
or rowing machine
and remind you
to start a workout.
Want to pause or skip a track
on your workout playlist?
Just swipe left on your watch.
For tracking and comparing
different sections of a workout,
such as a lap
around a running track
or a 10-minute bike interval,
you can mark a segment.
To do this, just double tap
the screen during your workout.
You can examine your
segment data
when it appears on screen
or in your workout summary
in the workouts tab
of the Activity app.
To end a workout,
swipe right on your Apple Watch
and tap the End button.
If you're just
taking a short break,
you can pause a workout by
either tapping the pause button
or pressing both
the Digital Crown
and side button
at the same time.
In watchOS 5 or later,
your Apple Watch can also sense
when you're done with a workout
and will tap you on the wrist
with a prompt.
If you're doing more than one
workout type in a single session
like moving between
cardio machines at the gym
or switching from
a run to yoga,
you can quickly
create a new workout.
To do this,
tap the New button,
select your next workout,
and you're ready to go.
Now you're ready
to hit the trails,
the treadmill, or the yoga mat
with your Apple Watch.
