Go into watch app on phone and tap on workout and make you have start workout reminder and end workout reminder turned on.

Apple Watch not tracking exercise correctly I cannot get my watch to recognize dance, other, or outdoor walk correctly. I have tried restarting my watch, and my phone. I am not having issues with elliptical, indoor run, strength training, HIIT, or core training. How do I fix this problem?
