The Apple Watch is a great way to change your life when it comes to fitness. The fact that you can actually track your metrics as calories burnt, timings, heart rate, and other trends that come along with the Apple Watch will give you a better look at how things are looking healthwise.
In this article, we will look at how you can change your exercise goals (hopefully increase) and improve yourself towards your fitness journey. I’m using the Apple Watch 5 with watchOS 9 for the purpose of this tutorial. In case you have older versions or different devices, it shouldn’t be difficult to follow.
