Apple Watch Low Cardio Fitness Notifications are a great way to keep you informed about your fitness progress. However, if you’re not using them correctly, they can be a nuisance. Here’s how to stop Apple Watch Low Cardio Fitness Notifications from being a nuisance:

  1. Make sure you have the notifications turned off on your Apple Watch. This will help to stop them from being sent automatically.
  2. If you’re using the watch for fitness purposes, make sure you’re doing it in a way that doesn’t require you to open the app every time there’s a new notification. For example, if you’re working out at the gym and want to know about your progress, set up an alarm on your phone so that you don’t have to open the app every time there’s a new notification about your workout.
  3. If notifications are still being sent even after following these tips, try disabling push notifications on your Apple Watch by going to Settings > General > Push Notification and turning them off completely. This will help to stop any future notifications from coming through automatically.

The Apple Watch can now track and measure your cardio fitness. It can also send you a notification every few months letting you know if your cardio fitness is low for your demographic. While you have to enable the notifications, if you did so by mistake or just want to turn them off, here’s how.

How to Turn off the Notifications the Easy Way

Confusingly, while you set up Low Cardio Fitness notifications in the Health app, that isn’t where you turn them off.

Instead, to disable the alerts, open the “Watch” app on your iPhone and go to “Heart.” Toggle “Cardio Fitness Notifications” off from here.

How to Stop Low Cardio Fitness Alerts the Hard Way

While turning off Low Cardio Fitness notifications is one way to stop seeing them, there’s a better way: increase your cardio fitness. Higher levels of physical fitness have been linked with lower risks of getting heart disease, strokes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and some cancers. Just look at this list from the American Heart Association.

Also, it’s important to remember that your cardio fitness is measured against other people of your age and sex. If you’re in your 60s, your level of fitness is naturally going to be lower than it was when you were in your 20s. Apple doesn’t somehow expect everyone to stack up against a field of elite athletes.

Increasing your cardio fitness takes time and, yes, exercise. If you’re just starting out, try increasing the number of steps that you take per day, or even do a couch to 5k program. After a few weeks, you’ll be able to see your cardio fitness number climb in the Health app.

To check your cardio fitness, open the “Health” app, tap “Browse,” tap “Heart,” then tap “Cardio Fitness.”

Move more and you should see the trend-line start to go up over the next days, weeks, and months. You can also tap the “i” icon to see the different ranges for all demographics.
