The Apple Watch uses rings to help you visualize how far along you are in hitting your goals. Once a ring is completely filled in, it means you've successfully reached your goal for the day.

So before we dive in to how to change your goals, let's quickly breakdown what those three rings mean:

• Move Ring: The Move ring tracks how many active calories you've burned throughout the day. So anything from walking around the house to standing up from your desk count towards this goal.

• Exercise Ring: Thisring tracks the amount of "brisk" activity you've completed. Basically, any workout that gets your heart rate pumping will count towards the Exercise ring.

• Stand Ring: All you have to do to fill in this ring is stand and move around for one minute per hour at the very least. Your goal depends on what you set it to — you can set it as low as six hours or as high as 12 hours.

Now, let's change those goals
