got myself an apple watch… “to close rings”???! 🤔

so i recently got an APPLE WATCH SE … cos i’ve been working out but haven’t been able to track my activity! yeah actually that was the only reason why HAHA that’s why i got the cheaper version. it’s $379 for the non-cellar option, and i got it on amazon instead of apple cos i didn’t wanna wait 2 weeks for the delivery 😭 also i have an amazon prime account so my watch was delivered the next day 🥹 instant gratification at its B E S T.

anyway, people with apple watches are always going on and on about “activity rings”, and now i’m officially one of those annoying people 😌

if your intention of getting an apple watch is the same as mine, let me share with you how i close my activity rings 👇🏻

🏋️‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♀️🤹🏻‍♀️🧘🏻

obviously, the term “activity ring” comes from your activity level — and you’re supposed to “close” the rings by keeping active (quite a no brainer).

i downloaded the LUMIHEALTH app cos i also wanted to get monetary rewards for keeping active HAHAHA. fyi this only works if you’ve got an apple watch, so if ya wanna get $$$, you’d need an apple watch :)

1️⃣ even if i’m not heading out, i try to spend 10 minutes walking around while watching something on netflix LOL. this sounds extremely dorky, but it works guys!!! like just walking a couple of steps forwards and backwards, flail your arms while you’re at it — ANYTHING TO GET YOUR HEART RATE UP! sometimes i do lunges too. i always turn on the “indoor walk” option when i’m doing this, so it tracks this movement HAHA.

2️⃣ do a workout - duh. i completed a 30 min workout today and i felt sooo good. i’m so happy i’ve finally found an activity i don’t mind doing — and that’s strength workouts 🥹 p.s. i got abs just by doing MADFIT’s youtube workouts! i’ll link the post here so you can find out more ;)

3️⃣ going grocery shopping? heading out to get dinner for takeaway? TURN ON THE “OUTDOOR WALK”!! LOL that’s another easy way to track your activities and earn $$$. i generally enjoy walking, and i don’t like to walk slowly. so even if i’m on the way to brunch, i’m always walking fast. the reason? 1) i don’t like to queue for food so i wanna get there before anyone else has the chance to get ahead of me HAHAHA, and 2) it burns so much more calories than a slooow walk!

as much as possible, i try to get moving even if it might not even close my ring for the day. having the watch kinda keeps me accountable, so i’m constantly trying to one-up the app 😅 which is a great thing cos it keeps me active! say bye to the sloth rachel, now i’m active rachel 🏃‍♀️💨
