I’ve noticed if I start a workout on the fitness app, it doesn’t show up in my minutes of exercise on my rings - does anyone know why this happens? It’s driving me mad as trying to keep up with fitness goals and challenges whilst in lockdown! :-(
I hate to say this but it looks like you were not working hard enough for it to count as exercise.
Make sure that your information is up to date and correct in the Health app.
Age/sex/height/weight
The calculations are based on that.
For exercise you are supposed to get your heart into the 70-90% off your max heart rate.
Max heart rate is calculated as 220 -your age
For example say you are 50 years old, 220 -50 = 170
170 is your maximum heart rate
Your exercise range is 70 - 90% of that
So it is 119 to 153 bpm
This is the basic rule of exercise calculations.
It goes without saying that everyone is different so it is always advised to consult your medical professional for what they say is best for you instead of taking medical knowledge or advice off an internet forum.

Hi! Sorry, never posted on here before :-)
The workout is a HIIT workout at home which was around 30mins. I’ve noticed the HIIT workouts don’t get counted but things like walking does? I’ve got screenshots of the workout and the rings - hope this helps!
What exercise and what details can you provide?
More details are needed, can you post a screen shot of the workout?
Hey! Thanks for your help - if this is the case I’m gonna scream because my HR was at 140-150 the whole workout 😂😂
Thanks!
