how do i increase my calorie and step count targets on Apple Activity

Hi

Move goal / Active calories

Neither the Stand goal nor the Exercise goal can be changed.

On Monday of each week, the Activity app provides a Weekly Summary via the Notification Centre on your watch. At the foot of the summary, a new Move goal (Active calories) may be suggested based on your previous performance, along with the option to adjust the goal.

The Move goal can also be changed at any other time:

• Open the Activity app on your watch:
  • When viewing the time on your watch face, tap on the Activity rings icon / complication.
  • Or go the Home screen (via a single press of the Digital Crown, when viewing the time on your watch) and tap on the Activity app icon (coloured rings).
• Press firmly on the screen > tap on Change Move Goal > change the goal.

Steps

It is not possible to change any of the Activity app goal rings to reflect steps taken or to show steps on the watch face via any other built-in complication. The Activity app also does not include a daily steps goal or allow one to be set.

Your daily steps total can be viewed:

• Via the Activity app on your watch:

  Open the app and scroll to the bottom of the screen.

• Via the Activity app on your iPhone:

  Select to view a day's results, then scroll to the bottom to see Steps and Distance.

• Via the Health app on your iPhone:
  • Go to Health Data > Activity > Steps.
  • Adding Steps to Favourites adds it to top section of the Today screen (accessed via the Today tab) and the Favourites section within the Activity category.
  • Use the Health app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you would prefer to keep track of your steps on the watch face, then you can add a complication using a third-party app:
