One of the primary reasons why users buy the Apple Watch is to track their Workouts and daily activity. The Apple Watch does a very good job at accurately measuring user’s workouts in the gym, running track, in the swimming pool and elsewhere.
When you launch the Workout app you get a list consisting of several types of workouts. You can track these workouts by tapping on the workout that you want to track. What many users don’t know is there are many other types of workouts that can be tracked by the Apple Watch. Not all of these workouts are listed on the main Workout page, in fact it only lists a fraction of the available options.
Apple Watch’s Workout app offers around 77 workouts ranging from Basketball, Bowling, Boxing, Hockey, Martial Arts, Tennis, Volleyball and more. These options and many others are not found on the Workout app by default and need to be added to the workout list page manually.
Adding a different type of workout to the Apple Watch’s Workout app is quite easy. To do so simply follow these steps.
- Launch the Workout app.
- Using the Digital Crown scroll to the bottom of the workout list.
- Tap on Add Workout button.
- Now from the list of workouts tap on the type of workout you want to add to the main workout page.
That’s it, now your chosen workout will appear on the main Workout page.
You can easily remove any workout that appears on the Workout app. You can do so by simply swiping left on the workout and then tapping on the red ‘x’ button.
