200 Days of Apple Watch

This week I hit my 201st day^ with my Apple Watch and 200th day in a row of closing three rings. The three rings are:

  1. Move or active calorie burn: I set mine at 900, which ensures I have to actually workout to hit it

  2. Exercise: Mine is set to 30 mins a day (the default)

  3. Stand: Basically ensuring you get off your butt 12 times a day for at least a minute

Wearing a smart watch around 15 hours a day means I can get notices, control music while cooking, etc. But really it means I get to capture workout data. What follows is 200 days of activity by the numbers:

Average Move: 1162 Cal

Average Exercise: 71 Mins

Average Stand: 15

Total Exercise Calories Burned: 95,444

Total Exercise Hours: 238

Workouts

There are lots of options for tracking exercise (workouts), which I tried to employee to keep it interesting. It turns out walking is the easiest thing to do when staying home during a pandemic though. My top 6 workouts by total:

  1. Walks/Hikes: 113

  2. Runs: 43

  3. Other: 26^^

  4. Lifting: 18

  5. Cycling:18

  6. Swimming: 14

Workout Honorable Mentions: HIIT (11), Yoga (11), Soccer (3), Paddling (2), Dance (1)

^ The bought and set up the watch without enough time to hit my stand goal on the first day

^^ I started using Other in the Fall to track home improvement projects: painting, building a climbing wall, building a firewood shed, yard work, etc.
