How to Change Stand Goal?

In this section, we will see how to change the Stand goal on your Apple Watch and your Apple Fitness in general. We are using iOS 16 screenshots in this tutorial. So, by any chance, if you are using a previous version, it shouldn’t be that difficult to follow because the UI hasn’t changed that much.

First things first, Open the Fitness App on your iPhone either from the home screen or by searching the spotlight. In case you don’t have iOS 16 yet, then you need to open the Activity app.
As soon as you open the app you will find the summary of your current day’s Activity. As you can see, my fitness today hasn’t been that great. But let’s move on from that. Tap on the summary to reveal details.
On the details page, you will find a detailed stat of the activity summary. On that page, scroll down until you find Change Goals and select that particular option. Please ensure to make sure that you have selected the summary of today.
First, change the Move Goal and update it. Next page you will see Stand Goal. Here you can change how many hours during the day you want to stand at least for a minute.
Once you have increased or decreased the hours per day and then select Change Stand Goal.

Now, you have updated the stand goal in your Apple Watch. This means from the next you need to stand more than today to reach your fitness goals. This can become annoying if your goals are a little unrealistic. You can change it back anytime you want but I’d say if you happen to choose a goal, better stick with it.

So, in summation, the Apple Watch is a great tool to ensure that you get a grip on your personal fitness and have a device that takes a big interest in keeping hold of the data and the subsequent reporting and trends to you. I would highly suggest you get yourself an Apple Watch and it would definitely improve your personal fitness and well-being.
