I hadn’t exercised for over 20 years, but then I bought an Apple Watch. I ignored the rings for the first few months, but finally started taking them seriously. The gamification of fitness is very much a thing.

I still hate exercise, I still have no upper body strength, I’m still overweight, but my overall fitness level has gone up significantly and I’ve lost some weight. Baby steps.

Same here with the Apple Watch. After a couple of months of thinking that the rings were ridiculous, I found myself taking intentional steps to close them. Last night, even though I should have been sleeping, I went for a brisk walk just before midnight… after I realized that I was just shy of closing a ring. I like it.
