I received an email supposedly from Apple telling me to update my account info because there seems to have been suspicious activity in my account. How do I tell if it is a legit email?

It's probably not. If you want to do so anyway, type in the address to Apple's site yourself instead of following any links.

You could post their address here so someone who knows could see it & tell you.
I'd never been asked to verify unless I'd initiated some action where confirmation
was requested or required. Seldom, but perhaps once in 10 years.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
It isn't.
Apple doesn't send out that kind of messages.
It is a phishing scam.
Thanks everyone. Don't think I will reply to the email I got.

Smart move.
Have a read here to guard yourself:
Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
IF on ipod/phone/pad, click the company name (Apple Inc.) It will show you the actual email NAME.
