Exercise vs workout

Outdoor cycle tracks as a workout but does not count it as exercise. Is this the way it should be?

If by "exercise" you mean filling the Green ring, yes it should do that also. Assuming that you are getting your heart rate up. The Green "exercise" ring is dependent on heart rate, not just the amount of time you are moving. Happens to me all the time when I fast work and don't move fast enough to get the heart rate up.

Workout routes not showing in 9.2 (Race Route) In WatchOS 9.2 I’m not seeing routes in the Workout app. When I go to the start of my route, select Outdoor Run and filter on Routes, there are no options. I run the same route all the time and it shows up in Fitness on my iPhone so I know the watch and/or phone is recording the route. I thought it might have something to do with my route not being along a public road. So I just tested by running the same half mile twice on a sidewalk next to a road known to Maps. It measured the 0.5 miles the same within a stride or two so that tells me the GPS reading is consistent. Still when I went back to the start of the route it did not show up in Workouts.
