## Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for monitoring a workout and for generating improved interfaces for the same. An electronic device displays a first user interface in response to initiating a workout session. In addition, the electronic device receives an input while displaying the first user interface, and in response to the input, ceases to display the first user interface and displays a second user interface associated with a music application of the electronic device.
