Closing your move ring quickly on your Apple Watch often involves intense bursts of activity, but consider if you're truly benefiting from it.
The provided reference highlights the tension between quickly closing the move ring and actually getting a meaningful workout. While you can close it fast, it's important to consider if you are getting the desired fitness benefits.
Here are some strategies, keeping in mind the "meaningful workout" caveat:
- Intense Exercise Bursts: Engaging in activities like running or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) allows you to burn calories rapidly, contributing significantly to closing your Move ring.
- Maximize Stand Hours: While not directly related to calorie burn, ensuring you stand for at least one minute during 12 different hours of the day will contribute to overall activity. Remember, the reference mentions getting stand hours during a run, which can contribute to your activity level.
- Adjust Calorie Goal (with caution): While not recommended, you can technically lower your daily move goal in the Apple Watch settings. This will make it easier to close the ring, but defeats the purpose of the fitness tracking.
Ultimately, while speed is possible, it is important to consider the quality of the activity for health benefits. Closing the ring quickly should be a secondary goal, subordinate to achieving meaningful fitness.
