I accidentally selected “cycling-outdoor” instead of “cycling indoor”. The workout itself says it lasted 45 minutes, but over on activity it says I only exercised 14 mins today. This is very frustrating since these **** watches are so expensive.
How can I edit outdoor cycling to indoor cycling, *and* adjust my minutes?
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5
There isn’t a way to change the workout that you did sadly. However, it probably wouldn’t have made a super big difference- net time just be sure to start the workout you want. If you start the wrong one, just swipe over and cancel it, save it, and start another one.
Onto the next part, about the discrepancy between workout time and exercise time, the two won’t match 1:1. The workout app tracks how lions you were working out whereas the Activity app (with the rings) only tracks how much time in the day you’ve been moving above a “brisk pace”. This takes into account things like heart rate. Most people who workout for a certain period of time but don't meet there exercise goal haven’t raised their heart rate enough for it to count. See this link for more info on how Activity is tracked: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207941
See if this helps.....Having opened the Workout app, when viewing the list of main activity types, tap on the icon with three dots in a circle next to your preferred activity to change your goal type for that activity to Open / no goal:
More information and instructions:
Yeah. I don’t think that’s true. The green ring is the exercise ring. It registered a 90 minute Yin Yoga class yesterday (it’s a class where you barely move) but didn’t register my heart rate over a 45 minute spin class?

I’m just sharing how the Watch and activity features work. From the second point in the linked article, “Every full minute of movement that equals or exceeds the intensity of a brisk walk counts toward your daily Exercise and Move goals. For wheelchair users, this is measured in brisk pushes. Any activity below this level counts only toward your daily Move goal.”
And from the bottom of the page, “Heart rate is one of many factors that Apple Watch uses to measure your activity and exercise. Depending on your workout, it selects the most appropriate inputs for that activity. For example, when you’re running indoors, it also uses the accelerometer.”
So when doing Yoga, the workout app probably dosen’t care much about your heart rate and rather other factors compared to a walk or a bicycle session.
nope. I already completed a workout. These instructions are for a workout that wasn’t completed yet.
Selected wrong workout - help!
