Cook is talking about health and fitness. "Being mroe active is one of the best things you can do to improve your health."
The Apple Watch includes a fitness app that monitors daily movement and a workout app, which lets you set goals.
The Apple Watch includes rings that you can close once you've hit your goal. Have you stood enough today? A complete ring makes sure you've stood for a minute every hour in a 12 hour day. You can also track exercise and daily movement in separate rings. The fitness app stores all of the data so you can compare over time.
"Over time the Apple Watch gets to know you the way a good personal trainer would." It will suggest goals that are tailored to you.
