# Workouts

## Best practices

**In a watchOS fitness app, use workout sessions to provide useful data and relevant controls.**

**Avoid distracting people from a workout with information that’s not relevant.**

**Use a distinct visual appearance to indicate an active workout.**

**Provide workout controls that are easy to find and tap.**

**Help people understand the health information your app records if sensor data is unavailable during a workout.**

**Provide a summary at the end of a session.**

**Discard extremely brief workout sessions.**

**Make sure text is legible for when people are in motion.**

**Use Activity rings correctly.**
