Indoor walking time and exercise time not recording accurately on Apple Watch

To record an Indoor Walk as an exercise that also adds to your exercise ring, your pace and heart rate have to be higher than when resting or walking around in your house.

Otherwise the workout will be paused during slower parts of your exercise.

Rating the effort after the workout does not add any time to the green ring.

You're welcome 🙂

Enjoy your new watch!

Also remember, that the free movement of your watch arm also is used to calculate steps.

In case you are pushing a shopping cart, or carrying a bag, your step count will not be accurate, which can also affect the closing of your rings.
