Apple has always championed the importance of sports in our lives in several ways. The main one: health. This is why the Apple Watch has always been a device focused, in one way or another, on improving or monitoring the health and activity of users. The existence of personalized and global challenges in watchOS increases user activity with the aim of fulfilling certain objectives to obtain a gift which are always virtual badges on the Apple Watch. On this occasion, Apple has already presented its challenge to start 2022 “Start the year on the right foot”. If you want to complete it, we explain how to do it.
Start the year off right with the Apple Watch ‘Start the year on the right foot’ challenge
Each year, as December 31 approaches, Apple Watch users are notified by the first global challenge of the year on watchOS. It’s a mini challenge that Apple offers us to start the year on the move, by promoting sport and activity among users. If the challenge objectives are met, a badge is given to the user that they can use in applications such as Messages and view messages. trophy in the Activity app on iOS and watchOS.
This time Apple called the challenge “Start the year on the right foot” and the goal to be achieved is nothing more than complete all three rings for seven consecutive days in January 2022:
“Start the year on the right foot” challenge. Start 2022 as it should. Complete all three rings seven days in a row in January and you’ll get this prize.
Complete movement, exercise and standing rings
On this occasion We only have to complete the three rings: movement, exercise and standing consecutively for 7 days. Remember that the way to complete the rings is as follows:
- Movement: says his own name. This ring quantifies the number of calories we burn throughout the day, whether or not we exercise. The more we move, the more we will complete this ring. The lens to complete the ring is set in a personalized way, although the Apple Watch suggests which lens we should put on so as not to get stuck in comfort.
- Exercise: this ring can also be personalized to complete it. However, it is advisable to get at least 30 minutes of active exercise per day. It is measured in minutes of moderate to high activity and we can track our activities through the Train app.
- Upright: Finally, the objective of this ring is to avoid a sedentary lifestyle on a daily basis. Avoid sitting for long hours. The Apple Watch will send us notifications every hour to wake us up if we haven’t already. If we stand doing an activity for at least a minute every hour, it will increase by one hour until this ring. To complete it, we must arrive at least 12 hours, which is recommended by Apple, unless we have personalized the ring and have less hours.

Therefore, for this first challenge of 2022 enough with complete the three rings for a week in a row. Personally, I think the challenge is in the weekend. For many the week is still the busiest area and on the weekends we are reducing activity and sometimes the Stand Up or even Movement ring is almost over. That’s why Apple puts the whole month of January so that we have several opportunities to take up the challenge without being frustrated with the weekend or other misfortunes that may arise that prevent us from taking up the challenge.
You have another January challenge prepared for you
Yes. Apple doesn’t just prepare for global challenges for all users, but watchOS monthly launches a personalized challenge for each of the users based on its activity, movement and other parameters collected in recent weeks. These individual challenges are usually a bit more difficult to tackle than global challenges which are aimed at a much larger audience.
In this first month of January, we have a challenge of running or walking at least some distance. In my case:
This month, walk or run 266.4 km to win this prize.
At the end of the explanation It tells you how many kilometers you are going and the average daily mileage you will need to cover to complete the challenge. As you can see, this is a much more complicated challenge than the Global Challenge in January because it is always a personal challenge that the Apple Watch offers you in an attempt to improve and strengthen your health.
Remember, to see active challenges, you need to go to the Activity app on iOS or on Apple Watch. In the case of the Apple Watch, we will slide from right to left to access the section Price and we’ll slide down until we reach Limited edition to consult the information of the global challenge of 2022. If we want to know the objective of our personalized challenge of January 2022 we will have to go to the top where it will appear in large january challenge. If we click on it, we will go to the badge that we would get if we completed the challenge and a brief description of the goal in kilometers that we have to reach to complete the challenge.
Take heart with this 2022 which, we hope, will be loaded with illusions, health, activity and good news for all followers of Actualidad iPhone!
