How are exercise minutes counted?
- Apple Watch: Apple’s exercise minutes or your total workout time, whichever is higher. Apple may also detect some brisk walks as workouts.
- iPhone without a watch: workouts saved to Apple Health by an app that records them, such as Polar Beat.
- Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Health Connect: recorded workouts only.
If your workouts don’t show up:
- iPhone: go to Settings, Privacy & Security, Health, YuMuuv and turn on Workouts and Exercise Minutes.
- Android: check that the workouts appear in Health Connect under Data and access, Activity.
- Open YuMuuv and tap Update your data in your profile.
Workouts typed into Apple Health or Health Connect aren’t passed on. See Which workouts count?
