While if you are an Apple user, and you are new in fitness or thinking of purchasing Apple Watch to track your fitness. This watch will be so helpful to you in understanding more about your fitness with activity rings if you wanted to know what these Activities rings are actually recording.
What is Meant By Apple Watch Activity Rings?
So the activity rings are those you see when you open your Activity App on your Apple Watch. There are three rings, and each one measures a specific type of Activity.
- Move: The Red Ring at the outside of the circle represents how many active calories you have burned on that day.
- Exercise: So the Green Ring which is in the centre represents how many minutes of exercise you have done on that day.
- Stand: So the blue inner ring that shows how often you have stood and moved around during the day.
The goal of each Apple Watch user is simply to close the three different coloured rings by the end of the day. After the day is over next day the rings are reset in position and ready to record your current day’s activity.
