The Apple Watch Promises to Help You “Quit Quitting” Your Fitness Goals

A new year is fast approaching, which means it’s time for some new year resolutions. This time, the Apple Watch is committed to helping with your fitness goals and ensuring you stay on track. The “Quit Quitting” campaign for the Apple Watch Series 10 is part of the company’s effort to make it easier for users to stay in line with their activity targets next year, providing multiple tools and features to simplify their fitness progress.

Apple’s smartwatches are quite efficient at tracking activities and monitoring overall health, but many users don’t get around to using all of the features and capabilities of the device. A newly released Apple Watch Series 10 ad brings some attention back to the gadget’s full range of features.

Take Your Fitness Goals to the Next Level with the Apple Watch

“You know most people quit their New Year’s resolution by the second Friday of January. It’s called ‘Quitter’s Day,’ look it up,” the new Apple Watch Series 10 ad explains. A quick search should be enough to tell you that the claim seems to be true. Data analysts who have scrutinized fitness app usage patterns have found that people often begin to reconsider the fitness journey, or their resolutions overall, quite quickly into the year. 

For many people, the initial surge of motivation and dedication toward turning their lives around begins to fade after the realities of their daily lives get in the way. Some lose their focus because of other priorities while others realize how unrealistic their initial goals were and soon give up instead of setting a more feasible goal.

Fitness apps and tools are only as effective as their users allow them to be, but if you want to stay on track this year and give yourself another shot at staying on top of your fitness, then it may be time to give the Apple Watch’s motivation features a shot. 

How to “Quit Quitting” with the Apple Watch Series 10

The Apple Watch can be a great addition to your New Year’s resolution if you already own the device and plan to be more active next year. The most convenient support system the Apple Watch has to offer is the daily activity rings. Most smartwatches help you track how many calories you burn through the day through active exercise, but not all of them help you make slight adjustments to your daily movement.

Apple Watches have the Move ring, Exercise ring, and Stand ring that track how much you’ve moved from your spot in a day. With work-from-home jobs and a primarily sedentary lifestyle, it’s best to start your fitness journey by gradually increasing daily activity, and that’s where the Watch shines. One of the details we appreciate the most is the ability to switch the Stand ring with the Roll ring for wheelchair users who can also benefit from moving around in their own ways. 

Not only does the watch track your progress in closing the rings, but it also gives you a nudge to ensure you pay attention to them. Additional awards also motivate users to reach their personal best. The Apple Watch’s motivation features include the ability to share your activity with friends and family and compete with them to make it more exciting to reach your daily goals.

Of course, the watch also has trackers for different kinds of activities, from swimming to running. Runners will find the smartwatch particularly useful in monitoring and improving their pace and performance.

The Health Monitoring Features Also Improve the User Experience

An Apple Watch is also extremely qualified at tracking your health and alerting you to early signs of distress. Staying active is always good but straining the body is not. As you use the Apple Watch to stay on track with your New Year’s resolution, you can also watch out for irregular rhythms or high and low heart rate notifications to ensure you don’t compromise your heart.

The fall detection and crash detection features have proven useful to users time and time again and can be an additional way to ensure you stay on your run or while at home. The Apple Watch also has the Apple Fitness+ subscription that can provide endless lists of on-demand workouts that you can do from the comfort of your home when stepping out is not an option. 

With all of these features put together, the Apple Watch’s role in attaining your fitness goals can not be understated. If you’re serious about your New Year resolution and want to “quit quitting,” then the Apple Watch may just be your best bet.
