The idea behind this is twofold. The first is simple: it allows you to easily track how you\u2019ve been exercising.<\/p>\n<p>The second is more technical, as by choosing a specific workout,\u00a0the Apple Watch can track your movement and calories burned better when it understands the movements you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p>In my experience, it works well. The Apple Watch Workout app has a huge range of different exercises and, if your exact sport isn\u2019t on there, you can find something reasonably comparable.<\/p>\n<p>But there is one situation where this isn\u2019t true. So, I shall ask again: why the hell doesn\u2019t the Apple Watch Workout app have a warmup mode?<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, it makes no sense. I\u2019m frothing at the injustice.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1361402 js-lazy\" alt=\"apple watch workout app exercise select\" width=\"450\" height=\"774\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/apple-watch-workout-app-exercise-select.gif\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2021%2F07%2F21%2Fapple-watch-workout-app-needs-warmup-mode-opinion%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Look upon some of the exercises you\u2019re able to undertake on the Workout app.\" data-title=\"Share Look upon some of the exercises you\u2019re able to undertake on the Workout app. on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Look upon some of the exercises you\u2019re able to undertake on the Workout app. on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Look upon some of the exercises you\u2019re able to undertake on the Workout app.<\/figcaption><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1361402\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/apple-watch-workout-app-exercise-select.gif\" alt=\"apple watch workout app exercise select\" width=\"450\" height=\"774\" srcset=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Warming up is one of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=importance+of+warming+up\">the most important things<\/a>\u00a0you can do while exercising. The lack of its inclusion as a standalone workout is\u2026 baffling. I get around this by selecting \u201cFunctional Strength Training\u201d instead, but this feels inelegant. Why not put a warmup exercise option?<\/p>\n<p>But it could go even further (and better) than this.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, when you select an exercise on the Apple Watch Workout app it\u2019d give you the option to start with a warmup, rather than going straight into the main event.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re doing a run. You can select that exercise and, before it starts the countdown, it asks you if you\u2019d like to warmup first. Once this is done, you should tap another button to begin the workout proper.<\/p>\n<p>This would not only be useful, but actually beneficial, a bonafide feature that encourages people to exercise in the safest way possible.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of a warmup option on the Apple Watch Workout app is made even stranger by the fact there\u2019s a cooldown option. Yes, for some bizarre reason, you can track your post-exercise stretches, but you\u2019ll be damned if you\u2019d like to do the same with your warmup.<\/p>\n<p>Genuinely, the lack of this feature is confounding. I feel this is the sort of thing that could be implemented in a short space of time. Plus, it\u2019d make my pernickety ass feel like I\u2019m tracking all my exercise properly \u2014 and isn\u2019t that what we all want in the end?<\/p>\n<p>So, come on Apple, give me a warmup mode on the Workout app.<\/p>\n<p><i>Did you know we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>letter all about consumer tech?
