Apple Watch: Understanding the difference between the rings “moving” and “train”, those that we try to fill every day

Apple Watch is a particularly useful companion for those who wantkeep in shape,lose weightor evenIncrease their physical capacitiesBy setting daily objectives. To this end, the watch has the systemActivity, which, using three circles of different colors, measures the wearer activity during the day. These three circles are obviously not interested in the same data. And while the name of the Blue Circle, “get up”, is quite explicit, the other two “train” and “moving” can create misunderstanding. Here are some items to see more clearly and understand thisWhy Apple chose this 3 circles system:

Operation of the Apple Watch “moving” circle

The Bouger circle corresponds to the red ring. He measures thenumber of calories burned every day by the carrier. To fill the circle, you have to burn a certain number.

And these are actuallyarm movementsWho will create the filling of this red circle, unlike the circle train, which fills when the watch detects a certain heartbeat.

Thus, a walk can fill the “moving” circle faster than a bike ride. Another thing to know, it is the only circle for which the user canmodifierThe goal to be achieved.

And the circle “train”?

This indicator fills up when the watch has detected intense physical activity, on the basis of aHeart rhythm higher than normal. Thus, to manage to make the 30 minutes allowing to fill the circle, it is necessary to carry out a session intended to be detected as a sportsman.

A bodybuilding session, for example, during which between each exercise, the carrier sits down and sees his heartbeat down descend, could simply never trigger the limit threshold necessary to be considered as the activity of the circle “entraining me”.

Fortunately, the watchadapts to the carrier at this level, by detecting a level of heartbeat at rest and a level of heartbeat in sports activity, to be more able to detect when the carrier does sport.

Besides, that is why the objective is not customizable here. Because a person who is not used to sport has a heart that can quickly accelerate in the event of a light walking or running. If it embarks on an intensive sporting activated, the threshold of the heartbeat for physical activity will be more easily reached than in a professional sportsman.

Indeed, the latter, which has a heart much better prepared for exercise and therefore that is less likely to accelerate, will have to make more effort precisely to trigger the threshold of physical activity and thus fill the 30 minutes of the circle “entraining me”.

This 30 -minute threshold was chosen by Apple and is probably based on the figures of theWorld Health Organization, according to which it is advisable for an adult to perform between150 and 300 minutes of average or intensive activity each weekTo keep good health. This is equivalent per day to a fork of21 to 42 minutes, 30 being battery in the middle.

Three complementary circles

This is why the three activity indicators complement each other particularly well. Each of them focuses on a specific part of physical activity during a day, targeting a different activity: heartbeat for the circle “Train”, and wrist movements for the “moving” circle without forgetting to get up to break the long sedentary sessions, even with someone sportsman!

Besides, for those who have an Apple Watch,Do you try to fill these Cerers on a daily basis?If not, which ones do you use?
