Hello Adelina114,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. From what I understand, you would like to track your route when working out in the Health app, correct? Let's take a look into this!


Here are a couple articles on using the Health app to track workouts:


View health and fitness information on iPhone


Use the Health app on your iPhone or iPod touch


If you're wanting to view the route that you took for a workout, check out this article:


"Review your workout route and pace

  1. Open the Activity app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Workouts, tap a workout, then tap the map thumbnail that appears below Route.

Route is available for outdoor walk, hiking, run, open water swim, or cycle workouts.

The colors found in your route indicate your pace, with green the fastest pace and red, the slowest.

Note: To see the route you must have an Apple Watch Series 2 or later or have your iPhone with you during the workout. You must also turn on route tracking. You can turn on route tracking when you set up your Apple Watch, or at any time later: On your iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, tap Apple Watch Workout, then tap While Using the App."


End and review your workout on Apple Watch


Hopefully this helps!


Cheers!
