Start a specific workout on Apple Watch with Siri
Quick answer
"Start an outdoor walk" and your Apple Watch opens the Workout app and begins tracking that exact type. Name any workout — running, cycling, yoga, swimming. Siri starts it after a short countdown. Say "pause my workout" or "end my workout" by voice when you're mid-session.
