The special Apple Global Close Your Rings Day

Hey everyone!

Just saw Apple’s announcement: April 24th is Global Close Your Rings Day, and if you close all three Activity rings, you’ll unlock a limited-edition badge in the Fitness app, plus 10 animated stickers and a Messages app sticker. BUT there’s also a free physical pin inspired by the badge at Apple Stores starting that day.

Honestly, closing all three rings sounds doable, but my Stand goal always trips me up 😅. Anyone have hacks for hitting Move, Exercise, and Stand goals in one day? Also, has anyone gotten one of these pins before? Do stores run out fast? I’m thinking of hitting my local Apple Store early, but not sure if it’s worth the trip.

Share your strategies or past experiences! Are you planning to go for it? Let’s motivate each other!

... Read moreGlobal Close Your Rings Day is an exciting opportunity for Apple users to engage with their fitness goals in a fun and rewarding way. On April 24th, Apple encourages everyone to complete their Move, Exercise, and Stand rings. Not only will participants unlock a unique badge in the Fitness app, but they’ll also gain access to 10 animated stickers to personalize their messages. The first 50,000 participants can receive a complimentary physical pin at Apple Stores, which adds a tangible reward to the digital achievements. If you're wondering how to maximize your chances of closing all three rings, consider scheduling short activity breaks throughout your day. Set reminders to move if you've been sedentary for too long, and look for opportunities to incorporate physical activity, such as taking the stairs or standing during calls. Many users find that fitness challenges with friends encourage them to reach their goals more consistently. Be prepared to arrive early at your local Apple Store if you want to claim the free pin, as supplies may run out quickly. Sharing tips and experiences on social platforms like Lemone8 can help you connect with others who are also aiming to close their rings. Whether you're a fitness fanatic or just starting your wellness journey, Global Close Your Rings Day is the perfect occasion to motivate yourself and others! Let's get moving!

An Apple Watch on a wrist displays activity rings for move, exercise, and stand goals, with the time 7:40. The image is overlaid with text stating "75 HARD Apple Watch ring settings."
A graphic titled "Daily Move Goal" sets the goal at 600 CALORIES/DAY. Text explains this ensures burning enough energy for calorie deficit, aiding fat loss while preserving muscle.
A graphic titled "Daily Exercise Goal" sets the goal at 90 MINUTES/DAY. Text indicates this is consistent with 75 HARD and aligns with the move goal.
