Question :

Today is World Yoga Day. So I got a reminder from the Fitness.app on my iPhone that I can get a special award named “Yoga Day Challenge” if I do at least 10 minutes of yoga exercise today. So I did, but nothing happende. Then I found out that I need to do the exercise with the Workout.app running… I’ve searched on my iPhone and in the AppStore, but I can’t find the Workout.app…

Where can I find the Workout.app ?


Answer :

Yes, that’s a tricky one : the Workout.app is only available on your AppleWatch.
So, unl;ock your AppleWatch and look for the app-icon that is bright yellow-green with a black stylized running man in it. Click on that, and the Workout.app will open.

That’s it !

In your case, you will also need to start and record a Yoga workout. To do so, do this :
– on your AppleWatch, open the Workout.app (bright yellow-green icon with a black running man in it)
– when the app opens, scroll down to the bottom
– if Yoga is not in the list, click on the “Add Workout” button at the very bottom
– on the next page, you get a list of additional workout types to add to the Workout.app
– for Yoga you will need to scroll all the way down (the first group contains some much-used workouts and sports, and all others are grouped alphabetically – so you will need to scroll a long way down for the Y-section, there you will find Yoga)
– click on Yoga to pin Yoga workouts to the workout.app’s begin screen
– then exit the Workout.app
– now, if you want to record a Yoga workout, open the Workout.app and click on Yoga in the begin screen
– the Yoga Workout will now start with a 3 second countdown and switch to the recording screen
– if you swipe this screen to the right, you will get the options to stop or pause your Yoga workout

That’s it !

enjoy 😉
