How to start a workout in Activities on the Apple Watch

There are several options for people who are looking to use Workouts with the Apple Watch, which is really great if you're looking to spice up your workout routine!

You can either pick from a Quick Start Workout, which doesn't require you to enter any additional information like calorie or distance goals, or you can pick from an Outdoor Walk, Outdoor Run, Outdoor Cycle, Indoor Walk, Indoor Run, Indoor Cycle, Elliptical, Rower, Stair Stepper, or Other. When you choose Other, your Apple Watch is unsure of what kind of activity you're doing because of inconsistent of sensor readings (like yoga) and will register as a brisk walk.

On Apple Watch, press the digital crown button to get to the main menu.
Tap the Workouts app. It looks like a stick figure in a green circle.
Tap the workout you are going to do.
Tap the plus sign or minus sign to adjust the settings according to the workout you want to do.
Tap start.
