Today is International Women’s Day and to commemorate the day, Apple has launched a new Apple Watch activity challenge and a new special award.
To earn the International Women’s Day award, Apple Watch users will have to complete a workout of any kind for at least 20 minutes. Apple Watch users who earn the award will unlock a dedicated badge in the Fitness app and a series of virtual stickers that can be used in Messages or FaceTime.
These challenges are becoming somewhat of a regular thing for Apple, which held similar challenges for the Lunar New Year and in February, commemorating both Black History Month and Heart Month.
In order to help you conquer this challenge, we’ve rounded up seven top Black women from throughout the Black Diaspora in fitness who can get you moving in a variety of ways.
