FitRest keeps track of your best training over the last 12 months: your longest cardio session, farthest distance, biggest calorie burn, busiest week and longest streak. A Monthly Recap sums up last month, and Your Year shows every day of the past year at a glance.
The Personal Records card on the Activity tab looks at the last 12 months of workouts and keeps five records:
Monthly Recap sums up last month's training: total active time, energy burned, your most frequent workout, the workout type you spent the most time on, and your top calorie burn. It is a quick look back at the end of each month.
Your Year shows the past year as a grid with one square for each day, shaded by how much active time you had. Beside it are your workout count, active days and inactive days. Gaps and busy stretches stand out immediately, which makes it easy to see a holiday break, an injury or the month you found a routine.
Both cards are hidden by default. Turn them on from the sliders button at the top of the Activity tab, or from Settings > Appearance, where you can also reorder the tab's sections.
Motivation tends to fade when progress is hard to see. Records give you clear markers: a distance you had never reached before, or the week you fitted in more sessions than ever. Beating one of them is a concrete sign that your training is working, even when day-to-day changes feel small.
Consistency matters more for long-term health and fitness than any single big effort, and that is what streaks and the year grid show. A streak reminds you what a steady routine looks like, and the year view shows honestly how often you moved across the seasons. Looking back once a month is also a natural point to adjust: keep what worked and fix the weeks that slipped.
These workout records are separate from the Personal Records inside Achievements & Records on the Dashboard. That screen covers wider daily bests such as most steps in a day, longest sleep and lowest resting heart rate, alongside badges and levels. The Activity tab records focus on your workouts.
Records come from workouts saved to Apple Health by Apple Watch, iPhone, or other devices and apps that save there. Distances follow your km or mi setting.
