I'd say it's great to do such workouts every day, not just on June 21. | Image by PhoneArena
Many buy the Apple Watch just because they're already deep in the Apple ecosystem, but some actually rely on Cupertino's smartwatch for physical wellbeing and sport.
But if you're an Apple Watch owner who has never used the gadget for workouts, maybe now is the perfect time to give it a shot.
Apple has a small gift for you if you complete an Activity Challenge on June 21. It'll take about 10 minutes of your time: easy-peasy!
Let's do some yoga

This Sunday, June 21, is the International Day of Yoga.
Apple is among the corporations that almost always celebrate such events, but the company wants you to join in the fun, too. To motivate you, there's an in-app award in the form of cool, animated stickers.
In order to qualify for the gift, Apple Watch owners must record a yoga workout of 10 minutes or more.
Recommended For You
There's no requirement about any specific type of yoga – any type of yoga activity will do the trick. You just have to select the yoga workout type from the Workout app on the Apple Watch. Or one could use an app that can add yoga workouts to the Health app.
What do you use your Apple Watch for?
What's the gift?
So, if you managed to complete your 10-minute (why not 20-minute, while we're at it?) yoga workout, you'll receive a set of animated yoga stickers. These can be used in the Messages app and you'll be able to brag to your friends.
Here's an example:

Nothing too fancy, but it's still something fresh and distinct. Make sure to send those to as many people as possible. Maybe they'll join the next Activity Challenge, too!
About Apple Fitness+
If you're serious about getting in shape, the Apple Fitness+ subscription-based fitness service from Apple is great. It offers guided workout and meditation videos. It is designed to help people exercise at home, at the gym, or while traveling.
The service includes different types of workouts, such as strength training, yoga, cycling, HIIT, core exercises, dance, Pilates, treadmill running and rowing. There are also meditation sessions and audio programs for walking and running.
Fitness+ works especially well with the Apple Watch. During a workout, your heart rate, calories burned and other metrics appear on the screen in real time. However, an Apple Watch is no longer required and you can use the service with an iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.
New workouts and programs are added regularly and sessions range from a few minutes to nearly an hour. Trainers guide users through each exercise and often show easier or more challenging variations.
The service is aimed at both beginners and experienced users. It requires a monthly or yearly subscription and is included in some Apple One bundles.
