When recording a workout via the Workout app, choosing the activity type that most closely matches your workout enables Apple Watch to use the most appropriate sensors and data sources when estimating the results, including using tailored calorie calculations for preset activity types.įor activities that are not included within the list or that are not sufficiently similar - including, for example, weight training - record your workout under 'Other'. 'Other' workouts that have previously been named will become available to repeat within the Workout app, complete with their previously selected naming label. Available labels include Downhill Skiing, Snowboarding and Snow Sports. Upon ending the workout, tap on the option to Name Workout. The built-in Workout app on Apple Watch does not include 'skiing' or 'snowboarding' as main activity types, but workouts for activities that are not included within the main activity types can still be named using a wide choice of labelling options.įor workouts that are neither included within nor sufficiently similar to the main activity types, record your workout by selecting 'Other' as the activity type.
