The Apple Workout app gives you tools to manage your individual workout sessions.
You can set specific goals, such as time, distance, or calories. Your Apple Watch tracks your progress, nudges you along the way, and summarises your results.
You use Apple Health on your iPhone to review your complete workout history.
