Apple Watches can be a great way to improve your fitness routine. It helps you track your activity and workouts while also encouraging you to exercise more. However, in order to get the best results out of it, you should wear it around your ankle, according to TikTok fitness enthusiasts.
People wearing Apple Watches around their ankles during workouts is not a new thing. While some people do it because of medical issues or for practical purposes, others claim that it actually provides a more accurate reading.
A lot of times, the Apple Watch will pause tracking your workout if there is no clear hand movement or if the wristband gets loose. But placing it on your wrist apparently eliminates this problem.
“Everytime I have my Apple Watch on my wrist it always pauses and never records my full workout. Found out about the ankle thing and never went back,” fitness content creator @bodiedbyana explained in a recent video.
A lot of other TikTok users have adopted this unusual routine and never looked back.
For example, @zoehughley found it helpful to track her activity on the walking pad. Her hands rest on the keyboard while she works, and her steps would be missed otherwise.
TikTok user @mediocremomadventures did an experiment that showed the Apple Watch strapped on her ankle provided better reading when she was doing everyday activities like shopping.
