Start a workout
Open the Workout app , then tap the type of workout you want—a daily workout like a run or swim, or a multisport workout when you take on your next triathlon. Customize your workout view so the metrics you want to track are just a glance away. For some common types of workouts, if you forget to start your workout on Apple Watch, you’ll get a reminder to record a workout and get credit for the exercise you’ve already done.
