Apple stresses fitness tech

Apple made a big deal of the ability of its Health app and Apple Watch to track your activity and exercise.

Apple's Activity and Workout apps

Apple will include two fitness applications on its Apple Watch: the Activity and Workout apps.

Track how you move

The Activity app can keep tabs on how much you move, exercise, and even stand.

Get credit for standing

The Apple Watch will give you brownie points for standing, a first for a wearable fitness tracker.

Move it to burn it

Easily see how much you have to move to burn the calories you want to negate.

Run it off

The same goes for the burn rate of your runs. Your calorie progress is displayed at a glance.

A little encouragement

The Workout app also pushes you by showing the halfway mark during runs.

This badge is for you

A health and fitness app wouldn't be one without awarding virtual achievement badges. The Apple Watch doesn't disapoint here, either.
