When I walk outdoors I wear wrist weights which preclude me from wearing my watch at the same time. Is there anyway to initiate and record my walk with just my phone? TIA.

You could also manually add your workout into the Health App, right after you finished it:

You can always try an "Armband" or "Ankle Band"
There are some on Amazon
I don't know how accurate it would be, but you can try and decide yourself.
Good luck
You could use a third-party app that syncs with health on your phone to record the workout.
You may also want to consider a weighted vest rather than wrist weights. They put far less strain on your arm and shoulder joints.

That makes sense. Definitely not something I would. have thought of!
They are getting a little hard on my shoulders at my age, but if I don’t I have a hard time keeping on target.
I injured both shoulders in my late twenties (full contract martial arts training) and have had to be careful of them ever since.
Thanks. I followed your directions and see how to do it, but I depended on the app to track my distance, it uses gps I guess, and calories. I guess I can estimate it, unless you know of a way to have the phone do that.
Perfect. I didn't know such a thing existed, but there are some on Amazon that snap right onto the watch. I just ordered an elastic one that looks like it will be just what I need. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Can I record a workout without my Apple Watch?
