My workout minutes don’t go into my exercise ring
When I do a workout when I finish my minutes don’t get added to my exercise ring. Is this normal? Is there a setting i need to change for this?

The Apple Watch will not necessarily credit all workout minutes as exercise. It will count only the workout minutes, that are briskly and energetic enough, see: Track daily activity with Apple Watch - Apple Support
The green Exercise ring shows how many minutes of brisk activity you’ve done.
The Watch is taking your level of fitness into account. Be sure to calibrate the watch and enter all personal data for the best Activity results, see: Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support
There is one exception. If you are using an "Other" workout, all workout minutes will count as an exercise minute, no questions asked.
